The Message |
Love made you acquainted with the taste of affliction
Like assembly’s candle give affliction’s gift to the assembly |
The illuminating Love depends on God’s Benevolence
To whomever He may give without restriction of temple or Harem |
Like the candle the mantle of light he does not get
Whom God does not give effective wail in the world |
He is in the star, the moon, the dawn’s theatre of display
You need not apply discrimination’s collyrium to the Sightful eye |
Love is exalted above the customs and usages of prayers
If Beauty has ecstasy of elegance you too give elegant reply |
O Tavern-keeper! Pleasure is the only effect of West’s wine
It does not have pleasure of affliction, give me the home-made wine |
Do you not know? The old congregation has changed
For God’s sake do not give them materialism’s wine. |
