Bring that (force) which draws the mate towards its mate

(Which) draws the angel from the heavens towards the earth

Like Muhammad every night towards the ascension (Miraj)

(Which) draws the Buraq of eternal love under the saddle

Sit in the presence of the spirit, for every sitting of yours

(Will) draw you towards the manners, nature, and qualities of your companion

(As for) the wine of eternal love, whose cupbearer is the spirit

It does not seize or draw (one), and if it does draw, it draws in this way

Go and steal the self-sacrificing nature from the moth

For that (nature) will draw you towards the light of the candle of religion

The divine revelation arrived, (saying) 'Sharpen your ears'

For a sharp ear will draw (you) towards the God-seeing eye

The thought of the friend will give you the glad tidings of union

For that thought and conjecture will draw (you) towards certainty

In this well (of the world), you are like Joseph, the thought of the friend is the rope

The rope will draw you to the highest heavens

On the day of union, if your reason remains, it will say

'Did I not tell you to do such that that (action) would draw (you) to this (state)?'

Flee, flee from the world like gazelles from a lion

I have understood it all: a mine is drawn to a mine (i.e., like attracts like)

The soul will reach the threshold of union with honesty

Even if crookedness draws the crooked (thread) to silk and floss

Endure the thorns of afflictions, for the thorn-puller

(Will) draw (you) to verdure and rose and basil and jasmine

Drink the curses and insults of enemies for the sake of the friend

For that (endurance) will draw (you) to kindness and praises and blessings

Close your mouth and be trustworthy in keeping secrets

For the king draws the key of the treasury to the trustworthy one
