The Drink of the Gnostics شراب العارفين

Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari

للشيخ صالح الجعفري

The drink is poured in the dhikr

A drink whose scent diffuses strongly.

We entered the presence of purity (hadrat al-quds)

And it was Laylatul Qadr

We drank the cup of Love

And it made us lovers for all our lives.

A drink pressed most sweet,

And it was the hour of pressing (asr)

In the depth of the night we were called

By the Lord of the Throne, for Fajr

So how many are those awake in supplication

And how many are those reciting the Dhikr (the Quran)

And how many are those up, crying,

With tears dripping down like rain drops.

So ask the prayer movements about them,

In the time when the night is passing.

And how many are in the mosque in itikaf,

Like a bird in its nest.

And how many are buying, selling,

But the love in their hearts like burning coals.

And how many are the worshippers walking

With the Qutbs and with al-Khadir

And how many are travelers, journerying

Like the birds and like the eagle.

And how many are the scholars, presenting

Pearls of knowledge, like the ocean.

And how many are doing dhikr at night,

Like the lion when it roars.

And how many are silent, reciting,

With their souls, in their innermost being.
