Love gave me the goblets of union to drink,
so I said to my wine: "Come here toward me!"
It came running and walking toward me in tumblers,
so I experienced ecstasy in my drunkenness among the Masters.
I said to all the Cardinal Poles: " Assemble
at my tavern, and enter, for you are my men!
Experience ecstasy, and drink, you are my soldiers!'
So the cupbearer of the [Lord's] people was quick to bring me sufficient supply.
You drank what I had left over after I got drunk,
but you did not reach my exaltation and my state of connection.
High is your station, each and all, and yet
my station is above you, higher still.
In the presence of nearness I am on my own;
the Lord of Majesty disposes of me, and He is enough for me!
I am the grey falcon of every Shaikh.
and who among men has received the same as I!
He clad me in a robe in honor's style,
and crowned me with perfection's crowns.
He made me aware of an ancient secret,
invested me with rank and gave me all I asked.
He has appointed me over all the Cardinal Poles,
so my decision is effective in every case.
Translation: Had I thrown my secret into the oceans,
they would have at once dried up.
Were I to cast my innermost being upon the mountains,
they would be leveled low and disappear among the sands.
Were I to cast my innermost being upon a fire,
it would die out and be extinguished by the secret of my state.
Were I to cast my innermost being upon a corpse,
it would rise up through the power of the Lord and walk for me.
Neither months nor long ages of time
pass and go by without my getting news.
And they acquaint me with the present and the future, and they give me this information [By the will of Allah],
and so , will you terminate your wrangles with me.
My disciple, experience ecstasy, have fun, relax, sing,
do what you will, for the name is a high one.
My disciple, do not fear!, Allah, my Lord,
has given me eminence; I have attained the heights.
Drums sounded in heaven and on the earth,
and the sergeant of bliss appeared to me.
The lands of Allah are my kingdom under my rule, and my time
before my transformation has been happy for me.
I looked upon all the cities of Allah together
as a mere mustard, seed compared to my connection [with Him].
Every saint has a precedent, and I
am in the footstep of the Prophet, the full moon of perfection.
My disciple, do not fear a traitor,
for I am a resolute slayer in the fray.
I am al-Jili Muhyi'd-din is my name,
and my banners are on the mountain peaks.
I am al-Hasani and the inner chamber is my station,
and my feet are on the necks of men.
Well am I known by the name of ‘ Abd al-Qadir,
and my forefather is the very master of perfection.
