\n
\n
Awake, awake, the time has come, awake!
\nWithout union with him, forsake yourself, forsake!
\nThe heavenly decree has arrived, the healer of lovers has arrived,
\nIf you want him to visit you, become sick, become sick!<\/h6>\n
Without a trace, without a doubt, he’ll make you rosy-faced<\/h6>\n
He’ll pluck out the thorn from you hand, become a rosebed, become a rosebed!
\nKnow this breast as a cave, the spiritual retreat of that Friend;
\nIf you’re really the ‘companion of the cave’, then enter the cave, enter the cave!
\nOnce this time has ruined you, laments will be of no avail,
\nIf you want him to restore you, become a restorer, become a restorer!
\nSee the world filled with tumult, see the dominion of the victorious (Man\u1e63\u016br [al-\u1e24all\u0101j])
\nIf you want to become victorious (Man\u1e63\u016br[al-\u1e24all\u0101j), hang on the gallows, hang on the gallows!
\nAs the dawn wind tangles her hair each morning
\nIf you want to savor its scent, become a perfumer ([Far\u012bd al-d\u012bn] ‘Attar), become a perfumer<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

Awake! awake! The night has gone, awake!<\/h6>\n
Forsake, forsake, your own self, forsake!<\/h6>\n
In our Egypt a stupid fool is selling a Joseph<\/h6>\n
Don’t believe me, go to the market and see for yourself!<\/h6>\n
Without a trace, without a doubt, he’ll make you rosy-faced<\/h6>\n
He’ll pluck out the thorn from you hand, become a rosebed, become a rosebed!
\nKnow this breast as a cave, the spiritual retreat of that Friend;
\nIf you’re really the ‘companion of the cave’, then enter the cave, enter the cave!<\/h6>\n
Don’t listen to every scheme and spell, don’t wash blood with blood<\/h6>\n
Like a glass cup, fall over and shatter, be lowly and debased<\/h6>\n
In the swing of the polo mallet, be the ball! be the ball!<\/h6>\n
Because of the arrows in its quiver, drop dead! drop dead!<\/h6>\n
The heavenly decree has arrived, the healer of lovers has arrived,
\nIf you want him to visit you, become sick, become sick!<\/h6>\n
Know this breast as a cave, the spiritual retreat of that Friend;
\nIf you’re really the ‘companion of the cave’, then enter the cave, enter the cave!<\/h6>\n
You’re a fine man, but naive, offering gold to thieves<\/h6>\n
If you want to recognize the thieves, be an outlaw, be an outlaw!<\/h6>\n
Hush! Silence the description of the sea and float within its depths<\/h6>\n
If you want to learn to dive, grow fins! grow fins!<\/h6>\n
