5.0 - THE FIFTH SOURCE: Supplement to the Leave to the Triumphant King

Obsessed with beauty, passionate he is, riding sleeplessness and sorrow!

***

Until when he arrived to him, he stood up, complaining weary, drowsy and malady.

***

His tears over his cheek, flooding, ... flowing.

***

O, his beauty when darkness descends, reciting the Book of the beloved, and praying.

***

His tears are still flooding, until the morning is connected with night again.

***

when darkness is fading, swaying.

***

If it is inevitable what is going to be, it is enough for me that (His Fore)knowledge is connected with the known.

***

But let my neighbor hear the severity of the deprived, as he bid me insanity on the day he left.

***

I have no patience after him, he's gone, ... no -------- no.

***

Sheikh Muhyiddin Ibn Al-Arabi (The Grand Diwan, p. 200).

After the listing the titles in the main text of the Leave is completed, the inscriber of Shehid Ali's manuscript says: This is the end of (the list of books in) the Leave (as written) on the date specified in the beginning of the book, and it he also has ... He, and subsequent transcribers, then list some other titles, which vary greatly from one copy to the other, because they are an addition from these copiers and not part of the Leave. However, all the previous editions that we described above did not distinguish this, including the edition of Abdul-Rahman Badawi on which Osman Yahya relied.

In any case, we will mention these titles here, but we cannot confirm their attribution to the Greatest Sheikh because we do not know precisely where they come from. As we have done before, we will put the same numbers for the titles already mentioned in the previous sources, while the new titles will be numbered starting from the number (296):

(These are theworks mentioned in Shahid Ali Pasha's copy No. 2796, written on the margin in the last version: Total books 269, with appendages 297, and appendages 38. But there is a mistake in counting where a number of books have fallen, and the fact after review is that the number of books mentioned in the original leave is 262, and the increases are 44, but some of these increases are also mentioned within the leave itself, perhaps with a brief or slightly different title, and they are probably mentioned in the index or in other references, as we have seen above..)
