Rufaʿat Astāru al-Bayni

رُفِعَتْ أَسْتَارُ الْبَيْنِ
وَبَدَتْ أَنْوَارُ الْعَيْنِ
تَنْجَلِي مِنْ غَيْرِ أَيْنِ
فَاشْهَدُوهَا يَا صُوفِيَّة
أَنَا مِرْآةُ حَبِيبِي
فِي هَوَاهُ رُوحِي طِيبِي
عَنْ سِوَاهُ نَفْسِي غِيبِي
وَاطْرَحِي الأَشْيَا الرَّدِيَّة
مُذْ بَدَا فِي ذِي الْمَشَاهِد
صِرْتُ رَاكِعًا وَسَاجِد
شَاكِرًا لَهُ وَحَامِد
إِذْ طَوَانِي فِي الْهُوِيَّة
يَا هَنَائِي فِي لِقَائِي
يَا بَقَائِي فِي فَنَائِي
يَا ضِيَائِي فِي سَمَائِي
يَا حَيَاتِي الأَبَدِيَّة
أَقْبَلَ السَّاقِي عَلَيْنَا
قَدَّمَ الْكَأْسَ إِلَيْنَا
فَاحْتَسَيْنَا وَارْتَوَيْنَا
مِنْ كُؤُوسِ الْهَاشِمِيَّة
صَاحِ فَاغْنَمِ الْمَعَاشَا
كَمْ مَيْتٍ أَتَاهُمْ عَاشَا
حَاشَا أَنْ يَخِيبَ حَاشَا
مَنْ أَتَى بِصِدْقِ النِّيَّة
أَخْلِ قَلْبَك لِلتَّجَلِّي
وَاجْلِ عَيْنَك لِلتَّمَلِّي
وَالسِّوَى يَا خِلِي خَلِّ
وَافْنَ فِي الذَّاتِ الْعَلِيَّة
وَاشْرَبِ الْكَأْسَ جِهَارَا
لا تَرَى فِي الشُّرْبِ عَارَا
وَهِم وَاخْلَعِ الْعِذَارَا
فِي الْمَعَانِي الأَقْدَسِيَّة
جُدَّ سَيْرًا لِلْمَنَازِل
وَانْتَهِجْ نَهْجَ الأَوَائِل
لَا تُصْغِ لِقَوْلِ عَاذِل
إِنَّمَا الإِصْغَاء بَلِيَّة
هِيَ كُلُّ الْكُلِّ أَصْلَا
لَيْسَ لِلْعَاذِلِ فِعْلَا
مَا عَذُولُ الْحُبِّ إِلَّا
مُرْسَلٌ مِنْ ذِي الْعَطِيَّة
ثُمَّ صَلِّ ذَا الْجَلَالِ
عَلَى بَابِ الاِتِّصَالِ
طَهَ وَالصَّحْبِ وَالآلِ
مَا حَدَا حَادِي الْمَطِيَّة

The veils of separation have been lifted,
and the lights of the eye have appeared.
They shine forth without a “where,”
so witness them, O Sufis.

I am the mirror of my Beloved;
in His love my soul finds its sweetness.
From all else my self is absent
cast away the lowly things.

Since he appeared in these unveilings,
I became bowed and prostrating,
grateful to him and praising,
as he drew me into the mystery of annihilation.

O my joy in my encounter,
O my abiding in my annihilation
O my radiance in my heavens,
O my everlasting life.

The Cupbearer came to us,
offering the cup to us;
we sipped and were quenched
from the cups of the Hashimites.
