In this age I have found no refuge
except in love;
I have seen no king
but the master of the tavern.
Though there are armies
in every nation,
I have seen no warriors
like those who follow love.
Numerous kings have reigned
in every era,
yet I have seen none that compares in stature
to the king of love.
Monarchs wear golden crowns
upon their heads,
but I have seen no finer adornment
than the cap of faqr.
Though there are countless paths
to the district of the Friend,
I have seen none
more joyful than the tavern’s path.
He will obliterate all else
with just one glance.
Yes, I have seen no look
like the gaze of the Friend.
I have seen resplendent beauties
in every land;
O Light Bestower to the heart,
I have never seen one as radiant as You!
