Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī - This realm of the Wise

 

 

 To the call of the tavern arise, arise
Fear not separation, be wise, be wise

A kingly feast is your prize, your prize
Intoxicated souls don’t despise, despise

You too drink this wine, see the disguise
Appearance of the Lord is a needed surprise.

You are all drunk, and your watery eyes
Like the shining sun, light up the night skies

This place is all kindness, compassion
Love, beauty, grace, goodness, passion

Fear not, fear not, enter this realm of the Wise
In this tavern for all sins, forgiveness with the Lord lies

For every ailment, divine grace is medication
The Judge of this tavern forgives every transgression.

Praise emancipation
Praise divine revelation

Praise soul’s coronation
Praise joyous elation

Praise the pride of a nation
This symbol of adoration

Who brought poetic inspiration
To this house of intoxication.
