The Alchemy of Union

It is not incumbent upon you to remain engrossed in the Blinding Light of Manifestation;
If only you were to seek leave from the Self of your limited self.

This teaching holds an uncanny familiarity for man
For it is coloured by the blood of foregone martyrs of humanity.

The Tavern of the Sultan is not too distant.
Go forthwith and adopt the robe of servanthood in the realm of His Prevail.

But O' you seeker of mercy,why would you fear being prevailed over?
If only in the silence of this emptiness were you to recognise the singular Echo of the One Voice.

Braced by the courage of Haider, guided by the surrender of Husayn, and crazed by the intoxication of the Qalandar;
In the inclination of the Lover's Heart remains concealed the Divine Itself!

Take to the corner of solitude, with stillness of heart and soul;
Donning the shroud of wilfulness lay yourself in the arms of annihilation.

Drink the cup of deprivation and fall into ecstacy untold,
Thereafter may you enter the chamber of the "Bride Incomparable" and melt into the Bliss of Union.
