Shushtari<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I drink wine from the cup<\/h6>\n
and from myself I approach myself<\/h6>\n
In myself it is myself I love<\/h6>\n
For it is my spirit, my reality<\/h6>\n
the fine wine that fills me and quenches my thirst<\/h6>\n
I care not what others may say<\/h6>\n
I seek in myself what I already have<\/h6>\n
Drink up in good health<\/h6>\n
the vintage ancient and pure<\/h6>\n
My allusions are from me and for me, so learn<\/h6>\n
Don’t resist me, understand<\/h6>\n
I am everything, the center of totality\u2014accept this.<\/h6>\n
Forget about him and her, let go of Zayd and Mayya<\/h6>\n
Take pleasure in loving truly<\/h6>\n
What’s passing will pass away\u2014but my life remains<\/h6>\n
My life is not separate from my qualities<\/h6>\n
for my essence is my all and my all is my essence<\/h6>\n
My essence shines like the sun<\/h6>\n
and from myself, I approach myself<\/h6>\n
in myself, it is myself I love<\/h6>\n

I was poured a cup of timeless love<\/h6>\n
not of this world, nor of heaven<\/h6>\n
In it I became unique in my time<\/h6>\n
bearing my banner amongst men<\/h6>\n
Mine is an amazing path of love unsurpassed<\/h6>\n
How lucky I am!<\/h6>\n
Hey you who love him, [know that] the beautiful one has many followers<\/h6>\n
If you are unkind to them, what misfortune!<\/h6>\n
Far be it from you, dear ones of Najd<\/h6>\n
to cut the ties of hope between you and me<\/h6>\n

My drink and my ride are sweet<\/h6>\n
and my beloved takes care of me<\/h6>\n
O my friends, forgive me<\/h6>\n
my prostration and approach<\/h6>\n
A fine and fragrant wine<\/h6>\n
all light shines forth from it<\/h6>\n
The pourer pours it<\/h6>\n
May it be my reckoning<\/h6>\n
I am drunk on love<\/h6>\n
and I have no comfort without it<\/h6>\n
Whenever I call out: “O God!”<\/h6>\n
My response is: “at your service…”<\/h6>\n

My love served me cups<\/h6>\n
of a wine unpressed<\/h6>\n
the drink of the pure<\/h6>\n
in which all things appear<\/h6>\n
I took a sip<\/h6>\n
and fell for you, o majestic!<\/h6>\n
My bride was unveiled to me<\/h6>\n
and I saw nothing but perfection<\/h6>\n
My intoxication got me drunk<\/h6>\n
as it did other men<\/h6>\n
this wine revives souls<\/h6>\n
whoever drinks it gets drunk<\/h6>\n
unveiled to me like a bride<\/h6>\n
and I saw the sun and moon<\/h6>\n
Pay attention brother, hold your tongue<\/h6>\n
and hold on to this wondrous secret<\/h6>\n
so that the veils will be lifted from you<\/h6>\n
until you see the beloved<\/h6>\n
from yourself and in yourself, she is everyhting<\/h6>\n
if you understand or have insight<\/h6>\n
Go back to your essence and dive in<\/h6>\n
but don’t stop on the slopes<\/h6>\n
the commoners will languish in heedlessness<\/h6>\n
while you see your love openly<\/h6>\n
O you ignorant in these affairs<\/h6>\n
submit to what you see:<\/h6>\n
the wine goes ’round amongst us<\/h6>\n
and every one of us is drunk<\/h6>\n
see the men with us here<\/h6>\n
present with their hearts so full<\/h6>\n
See them all dancing<\/h6>\n
the secret is manifest in them<\/h6>\n
It was for this, they gave their souls<\/h6>\n
and their night has turned to day.<\/h6>\n

Your love served me many cups<\/h6>\n
Its glow illumined my senses<\/h6>\n
My night turned to day<\/h6>\n
The sun is mine and the stars<\/h6>\n
My throne contains the depths<\/h6>\n
My heart is the starless sphere<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your love served me many cups<\/h6>\n
When I turned from myself<\/h6>\n
I saw myself unveiling what was hidden<\/h6>\n
its meaning beyond the kingdoms of men<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your love served me many cups<\/h6>\n
If you like, I’ll tell you true<\/h6>\n
I’m a real faqir and wanton<\/h6>\n
Shushtari is unrepentant<\/h6>\n
I drink with my friend from the cup<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your love served me many cups<\/h6>\n
Look for me in the monastery<\/h6>\n
You’ll see me slumped among the casks<\/h6>\n
I love wantonly the one<\/h6>\n
who revives the souls of those who join him<\/h6>\n
Your love served me many cups<\/h6>\n
