So Come, Return to the Root of the Root of Your Own Soul

How long will you suffer from the blows of a nonexistent hand? 
You are a ruby encased in granite. How long will you deceive us with this outer show? 

For ages you have come and gone courting this delusion. For ages you have run from the pain and forfeited the ecstasy. So come, return to the root of the root of your own soul.
Although you appear in earthly form Your essence is pure consciousness. You are the fearless guardian of Divine Light.
So come, return to the root of the root of your own soul. When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely,
Return to the root of the root of your own soul. You descended from Adam, by the pure Word of God, but you turned your sight to the empty show of this world.
Alas, how can you be satisfied with so little? So come, return to the root of the root of your own soul. Why are you so enchanted by this world when a mine of gold lies within you?
Open your eyes and come return to the root of the root of your own soul. You were born from the rays of God’s Majesty when the stars were in their perfect place. How long will you suffer from the blows of a nonexistent hand?
So come, return to the root of the root of your own soul. You are a ruby encased in granite. How long will you deceive us with this outer show?
O friend, We can see the truth in your eyes! So come, return to the root of the root of your own soul. After one moment with that glorious Friend you became loving, radiant, and ecstatic.
Your eyes were sweet and full of fire. Come, return to the root of the root of your own soul. Shams-e Tabriz, the King of the Tavern, has handed you an eternal cup,
And God in all His glory is pouring the wine. So come! Drink! Return to the root of the root of your own soul.
