am inkashafat'an dhaati layla sutooruhaa

Has the light of the sun appeared from the world of the Unseen, or have the veils of Layla been lifted from Her essence?

Yes. The longing of Layla for Her beloved friend has grown until She has revealed Her love,

wa naadat lahu'l-ashwaaqu haad,hee ku'oosuhaa

So that he has become a captive of Her ardent desire and the longings which are Her goblets called out to him.

fa laa lawma fashrab fa'sh-sharaabu hadeethuhaa

She did not leave until She had given him a drink from Her goblet. There is no blame. Drink! for the wine is Her speech.

And She is naught but the presence of Truth, alone, who manifests Herself through forms whose every light varies.

She has manifested the unique beauty of the form design in the depth of Her being. Look at the attributes of the Beloved manifested in you.

By Allah none have attained complete bliss except the one who becomes a humble slave and seeks Her out.

wa laahat lahu 'l-anwaaru yabdoo shu'aa'uha

And thus, She immersed the ugliness of his nature in the beauty of Hers, and lights shone from him, their rays appeanng.

wa 'aanaqa ma 'nan laa yahillu firaaquhaa

So that he withdrew from the sensory which was a barrier and embraced a meaning from which it is unlawful to separate.

Therefore let your goal be to commit yourself, oh my brother , and avoid otherness and Her gentle breeze will waft over the beloved ones from you.

You will open the hearing of the wayfarer's heart because the subtle knowledge of Her is Her proof.

Grant us union with Her always and cause us to withdraw from every sensory existence.
