Rise early at dawn by Abu said abil khair
Rise early at dawn,
when our storytelling begins.
In the dead of the night,
when all other doors are locked,
the door for the lovers to enter opens.
Be wide awake in the dark when lovers begin fluttering around the Beloved’s window,
likehoming pigeons arriving with flaming bodies.
Be an early riser,
seek the Beloved in your silence and solitude.
Do not let go of the One who receives you at the end.
Avoid attachment to all and everyone else.
It is the dark of the early morning, Friend.
All those thirsting after You have their foreheads on the dust at Your gate.
O Beloved source of the Water of Life,pray order Your wine bearer to water this pile of dust
