XI-XIII
In
the hands of drinkers the empty glass,
My party’s bearer1 is jobless alas.
I keep an eye on sigh’s inner seat,
Whose source are the fumes of that lamp’s heat.2
1. The bearer of (of this nation’s)
functions who gives them a spiritual food and drinks is missing. The party’s are
going without a principal guest and member of the function.
2. That lamp’s heat the lamp of the Prophet from which
they seek light.
