ZAWK 732

LOVE, a Noose tied around the Neck;
It is not easy to BE a Lover(Âşık)
Emptying the Pot of Mind(‘Aql)
Diving in to affliction for the sake of the Beloved ONE
Do not break your Jar of Zawk[1] oh my Ihvani
Watch(make ‘Sayr’[2]) the mirror(Ayina) of ‘DawrAN’![3]
Many Divine Manifestations(Tajalli) HAQQ(THE TRUTH)[4] will offer
In the (LOVE) Notebook Number Six.
