Salli Ya Salaam

صَلِّ يَا سَلَامُ عَلَى الْوَسِيلَةِ
وَشَمْسِ الْأَنَامِ طَلْعَةِ لَيْلَى
يَا سَاقِي الْعُشَّاقِ أَمْلَ الْكُؤُوسَا
مِنْ خَمْرِ الْأَذْوَاقِ يُحْيِي النُّفُوسَا
حَضْرَةُ الْإِطْلَاقِ أَبْدَتْ شُمُوسًا
مَحَتِ الرَّوَاقَ عَنْ وَجْهِ لَيْلَى
مُبْتَغَى الْعُشَّاقِ حِينَ تَجَلَّى
فِي ذَاتِ الْخَلَّاقِ الْمَوْلَى جَلَّى
مِنْ بَحْرِ الْإِطْلَاقِ حِينَ تَجَلَّى
بِكُلِّ رَوْنَقِ جَمَالُ لَيْلَى
صَاحَتِ الْأَطْيَارُ فَوْقَ الْمَنَابِرِ
وَفَاحَ الْأَزْهَارُ وَالرَّوْضُ عَاطِرْ
رَنَّتِ الْأَوْتَارُ وَالْحِبُّ حَاضِرْ
غَنِّ يَا خَمَّارُ بِحُسْنِ لَيْلَى
يَا عَيْنَ الْعُيُونِ ظَهَرْتَ جَهْرًا
بِجَمْعِ الْفُنُونِ كَأْسًا وَخَمْرًا
زَالَتِ الشُّجُونُ طَابَتِ الْحَضْرَةُ
بِالسِّرِّ الْمَكْنُونِ مِنْ كَنْزِ لَيْلَى
اِبْنُ يَلَّسْ هَامَ لَمَّا سُقِيَا
مِنْ خَمْرِ الْأَذْوَاقِ فَانِيًا بَاقِيًا
عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ خَيْرَ الْبَرِيَّةِ
مَا سُقِيَ الْمُدَامُ فِي حَيِّ لَيْلَى

O Source of Peace, send Your prayers upon the Great Intermediary,
The sun of creation and the face of beauty.
O you who serves the true lovers, fill up the cups (hearts),
With the wines of spiritual taste that revives the soul.
From the Infinite Presence, suns arose,
Effacing the passage away from Layla's countenance.
The lovers' desire at the point of manifestation,
In the Essence of the Creator: the Exalted Master.
The Boundary of Infinity that was adorned,
With every splendor, such as Layla's beauty!
Above the pulpits, birds sang,
The fragrance of flowers diffused; gardens filled with scent.
Strings trill notes as the loved one is present,
Chant, O Server of wine, by the beauty of Layla.
O Fountain of Fountains, you appeared lucid,
In every symbolisation, cup and wine.
Sorrows disappeared, the Presence made sweet,
By the concealed secret of Layla's treasure.
Ibn Yallas was intoxicated upon drinking,
From the wine of spiritual tastes, his desires died and he was reborn.
Upon you be peace, Best of Creation,
For as long as the wine is served in the gatherings (of Layla).
