Sol 5.6

  1. The herald of Truth arose among us,

    unveiling the manifest light.

  2. And it shone forth, time after time,

    so the heart brimmed with certainty.

  3. O my companion, O my companion,

    indeed, it is the true mystery.

  4. Do not turn aside from my path;

    take the road to the right.

  5. I grew drunk on the wine of my own essence,

    while I was in my solitary retreats;

  6. and my death entailed my life

    in the station of the gnostics.

  7. And my prayers and greetings of peace

    to one of mighty rank, exalted.

  8. O Self-Sufficient One, Your servant Shāmī—

    You Yourself, be his helper.
