Remember me
I will be with you in the grave
on the night you leave behind your shop
and your family.
When you hear my soft voice
echoing in your tomb,
You will realize
that you were never hidden from my eyes.
I am the pure awareness within your heart,
with you during joy and celebration,
suffering and despair.
On that strange and fateful night
you will hear a familar voice
you'll be rescued from the fangs of snakes
and the searing sting of scorpions.
The euphoria of love
will sweep over your grave;
it will bring wine and friends,
candles and food.
When the light of realization dawns,
shouting and upheaval
will rise up from the graves!
The dust of ages will be stirred
by the cities of ecstasy,
by the banging of drums,
by the clamor
of revolt!
Dead bodies will tear off their shrouds
and stuff their ears in fright
What use are the senses and the ears
before the blast of that Trumpet?
Look and you will see my form
whether you are looking at yourself
or toward that noise and confusion.
Don't be blurry-eyed,
See me clearly
See my beauty without the old eyes of
delusion.
Beware!
Beware!
Don't mistake me for this human form.
The soul is not obscured by forms.
Even if it were wrapped
in a hundred folds of felt
the rays of the soul's light
would still shine through.
Beat the drum,
Follow the minstrels of the city.
It's a day of renewal
when every young man
walks boldly
on the path of love.
Had everyone sought God
Instead of crumbs and copper coins
They would not be sitting on the edge of the moat
in darkness
and regret.
What kind of gossip-house
have you opened in our city?
Close your lips
and shine on the world
like loving sunlight.
Shine like the Sun of Tabriz
rising in the East.
Shine like the star of victory.
Shine like the whole universe
is yours!
