Dewane Bahu Deewan E Bahu

(5)

O wise friend! Be prepared! Come along with me inside the Tavern [of Marifat],

Make an bond with [Marifat] drunkenly like the gallant Mardaan.

Pledge the Prayer Carpet and acquire the goblet of the Wine [of Marifat] in your hand,

Give up the vanity of wisdom by purifying and cleaning your heart and soul.

What if you have become wise and sagacious even, [but in this world,] your worth is not equal to half a grain of barley,

You can only be titled Mard when you have become crazy Mard [on the Course of Amal].

?You are covering yourself with the garb of Faqar [but] you do not imbibe its Wine,

Why have you fallen in deception and spurious scheme? You are saying the unreal and unrealistic stories.

Cause yourself free against this fakeness and Riya,

Who else than drunken Intrepid-devotee [Arif] enters this Course [of Marifat]?

Become [free] like the drunk [of the Tavern of Marifat] why are you hiding?

How can Masti come without the liquor [of Marifat]?

Drink a goblet of the Wine [of Marifat] in old age; set your foot inside the Tavern [of Marifat].

That [the Pure Essence] is the One [and] gives Guidance, you should come alone in this vale of Faqar,

You should yourself become [unwavering] friend like real Mardaan; the bliss [of Wasal will always come to you.

What you are talking of the Nafi (there is none worthy of worship except Allah whereas] you do not try to find the Essence of Hu [Allah Almighty and] that [Murshid-e-Kaamil] who [is] with the Hu,

Why have you associated yourself with the Outsiders of Allah? You should drunkenly chant He is Hu [Hu al Hu].

Drink this Wine [of Marifat] like a drinker, Destroy (Fana) your [mortal] self-conceit,

The Pir of Tavern has invited everybody: Lo! O friends! (Come) and find Yaa Hu!
