O soul, find the Beloved, O friend, find the Friend,
O watchman, remain awake:
it does no good for you to fall asleep.
On every side hubbub and chaos, in every street candlesand torches,Tonight the world teems, giving birth to a new andeverlasting order.
Once dust you're now spirit, once ignorant now wise,
He who has led you so far will guide you further.
How pleasant are the pains he makes you suffer, while drawing you gently to himself
His flames are like water: their wetness won't burn.
Inhabiting the soul is his task, breaking vows of penitence also,His artifice causes every atom to tremble at its core...!!
