At dusk, at dawn I gaze upon your beauty --
A dazzling spectacle of rising moon and sun. So far, the wayfarers have not discovered your footprints: They stand staring at the stepstone of your door Your glance of abundant grace did not satisfy; We with the seeing eye know a glance from a glance. Saqi, they've just arrived and taken their seats; How is it that they've already gained intimacy? Some you inspire with the madness of prostration: They cannot tell their heads from your door. Saqi, whoever comes by even a tinge of awakening We see sitting in your assembly, oblivious to this world. Men who are maddened by the thought of the goal See not fellow travelers -- they are intent on the road. Master, in what strange state your Darshan lives: We always see his eyes moist with tears.
