Last night in the time of Muha...

Last night in the time of Muhammad a messenger of news from His Highness Asaf the murshid came .

From His Highness Sulaiman the true Beloved the order of joy came . *** With water of the eye , make clay of the dust of our existence

To the heart's desolate mansion , the time of building came . *** O thou wine - stained of garment take care conceal my defect

For , to visit me , that one pure of skirt the true Beloved came . *** This endless explanation of the true Beloved's beauty , that they men of knowledge uttered ,

Is only a word out of thousands , that , into example , came . *** The place rank of every one of the lovely ones the beloved ones becometh known to - day ,

When , to the chief seat , that moon , assembly - adorning , came . *** On the throne of Jam , whose crown is the lofty sun's ladder of ascent ,

Behold the spirit notwithstanding all this contemptibility , a feeble ant man came . *** O heart keep thyself safe from His bold eye

Because , for plunder , that sorcerer the eye the archer , came . *** Hafiz stained with sin thou art . Ask a favour of the king the murshid

For , for purification of the sin - stained that foundation of liberality the murshid came . *** The King's assembly is a sea . Discover the time of pearl - gaining

Ho O loss - stricken one the time of barter and profit hath come . ***
