At sound of the Beloved’s voice ye’ve risen afresh.
That voice the Bridegroom’s voice most truly was, ’tis said,
Although ’twas from the lips of His servant, Ahmed.
God said to him: “Thy tongue, thy eye, thy ear, I am;
All thy contentment, anger, thoughts, ’tis I undam.25
Go on; ‘By Me he hears, by Me he sees;’ that’s thee;
Thou art the head; thou holdest the place of Head’s trustee.
In ecstasy, since thou art ‘He the Lord’s who is,’[249]
I will be thine; for see, ’tis said: ‘The Lord is his.’
Now will I say to thee: ‘Thou art;’ and now; ‘I am.’
