Translations from Divan-e Shams

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
