Beloved reached desired glow And so we say, may it be so All doubts towards faith did grow And so we say, may it be so The devil’s plot caused perturbation And the nation faced agitation; Once again was Solomon’s nation And so we say, may it be so Beloved who put my heart in pain Closed doors on my face once again Friends would console and entertain And so we say, may it be so You drank wine on your own Lusted after all, alone Now lead the drunk upon a throne And so we say, may it be so From your majestic bright face The flame lighting my place Each corner, a well-lit space And so we say, may it be so From your fake anger and rage And the sweet turning of the page The world is a sugary stage And so we say, may it be so Night replaced by the morrow Joy has conquered every sorrow Sun light, pervasive and thorough And so we say, may it be so From mendicant generosity And lovers’ pertinacity Revival and vivacity And so we say, may it be so Celebrate this festivity Restored to compatibility Festivals abound in our city And so we say, may it be so O masterful wise minstrel In the underworld do not dwell Finally Venus in Libra fell And so we say, may it be so The mendicant reached kingly might In wealth attained unimagined height Partaking of courtly delight And so we say, may it be so Consider the wind in the air Sweet lips’ bewitching flair Wailing windpipe will not spare And so we say, may it be so The Pharaoh with much hardship Misfortunes his life grip Of suffering, Moses strip And so we say, may it be so Evil looking and ugly wolf Drowned in ignorance’s deep gulf By Joseph’s goodness now dwarf And so we say, may it be so O Shams-e Tabrizi, you Compassionately blend and renew East and west through and through And so we say, may it be so From submission to Satan’s will Your prophetic soul emerged through this mill Satan himself, God’s will fulfill And so we say, may it be so When the moon was shining its light Both worlds were garden of delight All souls for home then took flight And so we say, may it be so The ignorant and the blind With insight are now wise and kind Surpass Jesus, put him behind And so we say, may it be so It was all for souls to grow May it always have been so Thy splendor brightly aglow And so we say, may it be so All thy wrath was thy mercy Thy poison, sweet clemency Like dark clouds’ sweet potency And so we say, may it be so In his temple, colors remain Pulling by the horns will not disdain When this bull’s blood floors stain And so we say, may it be so Silence! I am drunk, you know My hands are tied in this earthly show My disheveled mind moves to and fro And so we say, may it be so
