One Who Wraps Himself

O God, the knower of secrets, do not hide the faults of bad deeds from us.  
Do not show us the faults of good deeds, so that we do not become cold and indifferent to the path.  
In the habit of the wise Solomon, he went to the mosque in the light.  
The king sought the daily routine to see new plants in the mosque.  
The heart sees with a pure eye the hidden vegetation from the common people.  
The story of the Sufi who was meditating with his head on his knees in the garden, his companions said, "Raise your head and enjoy the garden, the flowers, the birds, and the signs of God's mercy."  
A Sufi in the garden for opening, placed his face on his knees like a Sufi.  
Then he went deep into himself, tired of the appearance of sleep, he was annoyed.  
Why do you sleep? Look at the vine, see these trees and the signs and the green.  
Listen to God's command that says, "Look at these signs of mercy."  
He said, "His signs are the heart, O fool, the outer signs are just reflections."  
Gardens and greenery are in the essence of the soul, their reflection is like flowing water outside.  
That garden's image is in the water, which causes the water's gentle movement.  
Gardens and fruits are in the heart, the reflection of their grace is on this water and clay.  
If it weren't for the reflection of that noble cypress, God wouldn't have called it the abode of deception.  
This deception means this illusion is from the reflection of the hearts and souls of men.  
All the deceived have come to this reflection, thinking it is a paradise.  
They flee from the roots of the gardens, making those thin illusions.  
When the sleep of heedlessness comes over them, they see clearly, but what use is that vision?  
Many cries and sighs arise in the graveyard until the Day of Judgment from this mistake, alas.  
Blessed is he who died before death, meaning he smelled the essence of this vine.  
The story of the carob tree growing in the corner of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Solomon's sadness when it spoke to him and told him its properties and name.  
Then Solomon saw in a corner a new plant growing like a cluster.  
He saw a very rare green and fresh plant, its greenness was stealing light from the eyes.  
Then he greeted that herb immediately, it responded and blossomed with joy.  
He asked, "What is your name? Speak without a mouth." It said, "Carob, O king of the world."  
He asked, "What is your property?" It said, "I grow where places are ruined."  
I am the carob, the ruin of my abode, the destroyer of the foundation of this water and clay.  
Then Solomon quickly understood that death was coming, and the journey would begin.  
He said, "As long as I am here, this mosque will not be harmed by the calamities of the earth."  
As long as I exist, my existence is here, how can the Al-Aqsa Mosque be destroyed?  
So the destruction of our mosque will certainly not happen except after our death, know this.  
The mosque is that heart whose body is prostrating, the bad companion is the carob wherever the mosque is.  
When the bad companion grows in you, flee from him and reduce conversation.  
Uproot it, for if it rises, it will destroy you and your mosque.  
Lover, your carob is crookedness, like children who lean towards crookedness.  
Consider yourself guilty and say you are guilty, do not fear, so that the master does not steal the lesson from you.  
When you say, "I am ignorant, teach me," such fairness is better than pride.  
Learn from your father, O bright-faced one, who said, "Our Lord," and "We have wronged," before this.  
He did not make excuses or fabricate deceit, nor did he raise the banner of trickery and cunning.  
Then that devil began to argue, saying, "I was bad, we made the red face yellow."  
Your color is varied, you are the dyer, you are the source of crime and affliction and my mark.  
Read, "My Lord, because You have led me astray," so you do not become a determinist and crooked.  
How long will you jump on the tree of determinism, setting aside your own choice?  
Like that devil and his offspring, in conflict and conversation with God.  
How can there be compulsion with so much pleasure, that you are dragging your feet in disobedience?  
No one goes so happily into compulsion, no one dances so joyfully into misguidance.  
Twenty dead were fighting in it, while others were advising you.  
That this is the right way and the path, who but no one would criticize me?  
Who would say such a thing except one who is deceitful, who fights like this except one who is misguided?  
Cleverness is like swimming in the seas, rarely does one escape, he is drowned in the end.  
Leave swimming, pride, and hatred, it is not the Oxus, it is not a stream, it is the sea.  
And then the deep sea without refuge, it swallows seven seas like straw.  
Love is like a ship for the chosen ones, rarely is there danger, mostly there is salvation.  
Sell cleverness and buy bewilderment, cleverness is suspicion and bewilderment is vision.  
Sacrifice reason before Mustafa, say, "God is sufficient for me," for God is enough for me.  
Do not pull your head out of the ship like Canaan, for his pride gave him a drowning soul.  
That I will rise to the top of the fortified mountain, why should I bear Noah's favor?  
When you throw away his favor, O ungrateful one, that God also bears his favor.  
When you throw away his favor on our soul, when you say thanks and his favor, God says.  
What do you know, O envious one, God also bears his favor.  
If only he had not learned acquaintance, so he would have sewn hope in Noah and the ship.  
If only he were ignorant of tricks like a child, so he would cling to his mother like children.  
Or if the knowledge of transmission were less abundant, the knowledge of the heart's revelation would have been taken from the saint.  
With such light, when you bring forth the book, your soul, like revelation, brings reproach.  
Consider ablution with the presence of water, the knowledge of transmission with the breath of the pole of the time.  
Make yourself foolish, follow, and then go, you will find salvation from this foolishness and nothing else.  
Most of the people of paradise are fools, O son, for this the Sultan of mankind has said.  
Cleverness, when it is pride and wind, be foolish so that the heart remains sound.  
Foolishness is not that which is double in mockery, foolishness is that which is bewildered and amazed by Him.  
Fools are those women who have given up their hands, from the fool's palm and the face of Joseph as a vow.  
Sacrifice reason in the love of the friend, for the reason is a burden from that side where He is.  
The reason has been sent to that side, the intellects remain on this side where the beloved is not foolish.  
From this head, if this reason goes from bewilderment, every hair of yours becomes a head and a reason.  
There is no trouble of thought on that side, for the brain and reason grow in the field and garden.  
From the field, you hear a point, come to the garden, your palm tree will grow.  
On this path, abandon the arch and the bow, so that your guide does not move, you do not move.  
Whoever moves without a head is a tail, his movement is like the movement of a scorpion.  
Crooked, night-blind, ugly, and poisonous, his profession is to wound pure bodies.  
Strike the head of that whose head is like this, his nature and character are like this.  
His well-being is to strike that head, so that his small soul is freed from that evil body.  
Take away that madman's weapon, so that justice and righteousness are pleased with you.  
When he has a weapon and no reason, bind his hand, otherwise, he will bring a hundred harms.  
The explanation that the acquisition of knowledge, wealth, and status is a disgrace to the ill-natured, and like a sword that has fallen into the hands of a highwayman.  
Teaching knowledge and art to the ill-natured is like giving a sword to a highwayman.  
Giving a sword to a drunken black man is better than knowledge coming into the hands of a worthless person.  
Knowledge, wealth, position, and status are a trial in the hands of the ill-natured.  
Therefore, jihad is obligatory on the believers to take the spear from the madman.  
His soul is mad, his body is his sword, take the sword from that ill-natured one.  
What position does with the ignorant, a hundred lions cannot do with disgrace.  
His fault is hidden when he finds a tool, his snake rushes from the hole to the desert.  
The whole desert becomes full of snakes and scorpions when the ignorant becomes the king of judgment.  
Wealth and position in the hands of a worthless person, he has become a seeker of his own disgrace.  
Either he becomes stingy and gives little charity, or he gives generously and places it in the wrong place.  
He places the king in the house of a pawn, such is the gift that a fool gives.  
When judgment falls into the hands of the misguided, he thinks it is glory, but he has fallen into a pit.  
He does not know the way, he acts as a guide, his ugly soul burns the world.  
A child on the path of poverty, when he takes the lead, a backward demon takes the followers.  
Saying, "Come, I will show you the moon," he has never seen the moon, that unclean one.  
Fools have become leaders, and out of fear, the wise have pulled their heads into their cloaks.  
The interpretation of "O you who are wrapped up."  
He called the Prophet "wrapped up" for this reason, come out of the cloak, O one who flees.  
Do not hide your head in the cloak and cover your face, for the world is a body, you are the mind.  
Do not hide out of shame from the claimant, for you have the shining lamp of revelation.  
Rise for the night, for a lamp, O noble one, a lamp stands in the night.  
Without your light, the bright day is also night, without your refuge, the lion is captive to the rabbit.  
Be the captain in this sea of purity, for you are the second Noah, O Mustafa.  
Guidance is needed with the essence, especially on the waterway.  
Rise and see the caravan that has lost its way, every side has a demon that has become the captain.  
You are the helper of every ship at times, like the spirit of God, do not go alone.  
Before this group, like the heavenly lamp, leave seclusion and solitude.
