EPIPHANY OF SAROSH










































































































Thereupon the wise man
ceased his discourse;
665
self-intoxicated, he
broke away from the world—
ecstasy and yearning
snatched him out of his own hands.
Then came into being,
by the magic of divine vision—
when it is present the
motes become like Mount Sinai,
without its presence
there is nor light nor manifestation—
660
a delicate creature in
the talisman of that night,
a star shining upon
that starless night.
The hyacinth-curls of
his two tresses reached his waist,
mountains and foothills
drew brilliance from his face.
Wholly drowned in a
drunken epiphany,
665
drunken without wine,
he chanted melodiously.
Before him the lantern
of the imagination span around,
full of wiles as the
ancient sphere of heaven;
in that lantern
appeared a form of many hues,
hawk pouncing on
sparrow, panther seizing deer.
670
I said to Rumi,
‘You who know the secret,
reveal the secret to
your companion of little vision.’
He said, ‘This
form like unto flashing silver
was born in the thought
of the holy God;
impatiently, out of the
joy of self- manifestation,
675
he came down into the
dormitory of existence,
like ourselves a
wanderer, exile his portion—
you are an exile, I am
an exile, he is an exile.
His rank is that of
Gabriel, his name is Sarosh,
he transports from
sense, and restores to sense.
680
It was his dew that
opened our bud,
the fire of his breath
kindled the dead ember.
The poet’s
plectrum striking the chords of the heart is of him,
and it is he who rends
the veil shrouding the Kaaba.
Within his melody I
have glimpsed an entire universe.
685
now take fire for a
moment from his song.’
