English translation

Step joyfully upon the sky, intoxicated, With the Bahramshahi sword in hand. When the moon comes before you, break its head; If Mercury speaks, tear out its tongue. Take the plectrum from the fingers of Venus; Place the crown on the head of the sun. Draw the sword from the hand of Mars; Tame his fierceness with his own sword. Shoot an arrow to blind Iblis; Make the face of Jupiter like a target. Weigh down this blue palace, So it may reveal the terror of Saturn. Kill the misfortune of Saturn with the enemy-slaying sword; Take it and make it auspicious like Jupiter. With the power of fortune, grind it small; Trample the head of Saturn beneath your two feet. When it sees your inkwell without deceit, Jupiter will be turned upside down like a pen. Again, extract the teeth of Jupiter; Give the house of Saturn over to plunder. Point your spear upwards for a moment; Turn the seven planets into the Pleiades. Pull the armor of the sky over its head; Bring the stars into obedience. Host, from the delay of death, The Vulture of the wheel with Capricorn and Aries. Pierce the Ram and the Bull with an arrow; Then throw them into the oven of the aether. From the sky, with that mountain-casting spear, Uproot the five-footed, two-faced one. Give new honor to strength and sustenance; Brand the Lion and tame the Ear of Corn. Act nimbly and pull out with your strength, The tongue from the Scales and the sting from the Scorpion. With greatness, with a sweet-sounding arrow, Pin the throat of the Kid to the Bow. Make your thumb the place for the royal arrow; Then make a net from the Bucket for the Fish. Then, when fortune comes into your hand, Place the four legs of the throne upon the sky. Lean back on the cushion of glory; Pitch your tent in the everlasting kingdom. Give stability to the kingdom of the spheres; Give each one of them an authority. Do you know when this will be secured for you? When Gabriel becomes your servant. O you who are always blessed by fortune, Who in all the world is like you? Since you have upon the sky and earth, A kingdom adorned with state and religion. Do whatever you wish with your fortune; Your majesty is with your fortune. When you have taken the kingdom of the face of the earth, Make plans to ascend to the highest heavens. Pull off for the sake of the absolute world, The blue veil from the head of the providing wheel. Take its garment of mourning; Clothe it in the robe of joy. When both worlds have been subjugated by you, Jinn and mankind have gathered at your door. Call fairies and men to religion; Bring low the demons and demon-like men. Especially the one whose ill-intentioned self, Says his rhyme scheme is 'ita'. Do you not lack the capital of kingship? Do you not lack the ornament of religious law? The true religion is under your protection; The good religious law exists through your competence. You have become the police chief of Mustafa's law; Thus you have separated from committing sin. The soul of the one uncorroded by annihilation, Is resting peacefully in the tomb because of you. When he drew his face into the veil of dust, He chose you from his ummah for that purpose. So that you may give luster to the religious law, And sever the hand of falsehood from the truth. You have become the shadow of the Creator for this reason; You have become the fulfiller of the law's rights for this reason. Religion and state are dependents of your sword; Unbelief and heresy are in flight from you. Be joyful, O trustee of the Lord God; Religion has found its value from your conduct. Until you fly above the five and four, You will not reap the fruits of the six, seven, and eight. Until you place desire beneath your feet, How can you place the royal crown upon the head of the heart? When you have subdued desire by nature, All this will be gathered for you in an instant. I am not speaking of the kingdom of the world; I am not washing a black mole with blood. When you have spoken of abandoning the world of clay, You have pierced the pearl of piety on the condition of religion. Then the soul of the Best of Mankind will say, In the language of joy and intimacy: O you who are always blessed by the Incomparable One, Who in all the world is like you? As long as the world exists, may you be joyful, For through you the true religion became free. None but you has upon the sky and earth, A kingdom adorned with state and religion.
