Search for the cup of Jamshid ...

Search for the cup of Jamshid divine knowledge from me zahid and 'abid years my heart made

And for what it the cup possessed , from a stranger , entreaty made . *** A jewel the true Beloved that is beyond the shell of existence and of time ,

From those lost on the shore of the sea of unity search it my heart made . *** Last night , I took my difficulty to the Pir of the Magians the Murshid

Who , by strengthening of sight , the solving of sublety made . *** Him , happy , laughing , wine - goblet in hand , I saw

And in the mirror of the goblet a hundred kinds of views mysteries of divine knowledge he made . *** I said When gave the All - wise this cup world - viewing to thee

He said On that day , when the azure dome of heaven He made . *** He said That friend Husain Mansur Hallaj by whom lofty became the head of the gibbet ,

His crime was this that clear , the mys teries of the sky , he made . *** One heart bereft the lover of God with him , in all states , is God

But he beheld Him not , and from afar the cry For God's sake be my helper made . *** All those sorceries that in the stage of love and of divine knowledge reason here made

In the presence of the staff and of the white hand of Musa , Samlri made . *** If , again , the bounty of the Holy Spirit Jibra , Il give aid ,

Others also may make those miracles which the Masiha restorer of the dead to life made . *** I said to him 0 beloved the chain - like tress of idols beloved ones is . for the sake of what

He said With the chain of the tress , bind him , for , of the long dark night of separation or of his own distraught heart , Hafiz complaint made . ***
