Hazrat Alaudin Ali Ahmad Sabir Kalyari.
In love am I
And enraptured
Infatuated am I
And immersed
In my Beloved.
O Saaqi,
Cup Bearer,
Wine Seller
I sacrifice my
Life to you
Fill my cup
That erases all!
(Overcomes/annihilates me)
Entrancing me
Is a single glance
From the Saaqi’s
Alluring eyes!
Bondsman am I
Of the peer e Mughan
And dust of the
Tavern’s threshold am I
Into ashes have I changed
From head to toe
In the fire of Love
The countenance of
My Beloved is
The flame of Light
Annihilating me
Like a moth!
My angelically
Beautiful Beloved
Singed/burnt
The life of Sabir
I know not
Whether I am
The Light/flame
Or the Moth!
