Comments on the Opening Poem

“These are the houses, and the heart is wandering, in them, according to the rule of destinies.

The orbs are revolving with him in their spaces, and the universe in the cycles and spheres.

Whenever he settles in one house, the glimmers of lights aspire to him.

To provide them by emanation, as the night is streaming, before the morning campers wake up to move.

To leave this earth, to the right side, towards the west of mysteries.

Then the higher Idris (/the spirit) shall come with his horn, tracing this enormous camp.

And hiding the light away from the sight of the observer, just as the Sun overwhelms the outcome of the moon.

The chilling ether now have governed, where coldness and heating are ever in phases.”

Ibn al-Arabi (Diwan, p. 43).
