tr. Arberry, p.600 The king has come, the king has come; adorn the palace-hall; cut your forearms in honour of the fair one of Canaan. Since the Soul of the soul of the soul has come, it is not meet to mention the soul; in his presence of what use is the soul, save as a sacrifice? Without love I was one who had lost the way; of a sudden love entered. I was a mountain; I became a straw for the horse of the king. Whether he be Turk or Tajik, this slave is near to him even as soul to body; only the body does not behold the soul. Ho, my friends, good luck has arrived; the time has come for offering up the load; a Solomon has come to the throne, to depose Satan. Leap from your place; why do you tarry? Why are you so helpless? If you know it not, seek from the hoopoe the way to Solomon’s palace. There make your litanies, there utter your secrets and your needs; Solomon indeed knows the speech of all the birds. Speech is a wind, O slave, and distracts the heart; but he commands it, “Gather together the scattered ones!” [The hoopoe is often associated with Solomon]
tr. Amin Banani p.605 Who'll take us home, now we've drunk ourselves blind? How many times must I say, You've had too much wine! Not a sober person in this whole town do I see: One's worse than the other, stoned out of his mind Let's to the tavern, dear friend, to see the soul's delight When my loved one's not with me life's joyless, I find A souse in every corner, hands waving at the sky To each of them He carries a cup of the royal kind The tavern's your legacy, and wine is its cash flow For sober folk not one drop of the fruit of the vine O gypsy lutenist, who is drunker, you or I? Ah, matched with your madness, my magic cannot bind As I left home, a tippler weaved his way towards me A hundred blossomy bowers in his glances were enshrined He listed and lurched like an unmoored ship And a hundred sobersides enviously whined When I asked him, Where are you from? He grinned: Half of me is Turkistan, half to Ferghana inclined Half water and clay, and half heart and soul Half made of pearl, half like the seashore's line Then be my friend, I said, for I must be related to you Stranger and kin, he replied, are to me all one kind I am drunk and disheveled in the winemaster's house Shall I speak? My heart has so many knots to unwind Since you alone have caused a hundred riotous ecstasies Divine Sun of Tabriz, why do you hide from mankind?
