Sol 6.1

  1. Through your cup, O cupbearer of lovers, one is guided.

    For within it, many a star’s light has blazed forth.

  2. When the drinking companions’ intoxication has passed and they behold

    Your beauty, intoxication returns to them as it first arose.

  3. He revealed himself in all the attributes of beauty,

    Yet when he swayed, he was without equal.

  4. And He who led the night journey revealed to His servant’s inmost heart,

    So he became openly a master among the lovers.

  5. Reflect, and you will see minds plundered in plain sight,

    When he appears to the beloved ones within their inmost hearts.

  6. And beware of associating partners in the religion of his love;

    And be bound to nothing but beauty.
