Welcome, melody—you are that melody which has brought a sign from the spiritual world.
You are both candle and fair one and wine, likewise spring in the midst of December.
Do you know where you have come? From the midst of allglorious sanctuary.
You who are imam of love, say All¯ah Akbar, for you are drunk; shake your two hands, become indifferent to existence.
In the battle ranks we have no shield before our face; in the concert we are unaware of reed pipe and tambourine.
Yesterday you made compact and repentance, today you have broken them; yesterday you were a bitter sea, today you are a pearl.
Minstrel, when you draw your plectrums over the strings, you draw into labor these idlers of the way.
