Qasida Ghausia - Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani
Qasida Ghausia - Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani
I said to all the Polar-Stars, Come and enter my State. And become my
Companions
Be courageous and drink, you are my army, because the Cup-Bearer of the
Fraternity has filled my cup to the full.
And you sipped from my cup, what I left after my deep "intoxication", But
you neither attained my height nor my Union.
All your stations are surely high, But mine is higher ever.
I am singularly near to Him, The Mighty One who changes my state and
suffices.
I am like a white Falcon among every Mystic. "Who is there among the
Saints, so gifted as me?"
And He made me a Ruler over all the Polar-Stars. So my Orders are effective
under all circumstances.
Had I thrown my secret into the oceans, they would have at once dried up.
Had I thrown my secret over, mountains, they would have been pulverized.
Had I thrown my secret into fire, it would have been at once extinguished
by the secret of my mystic state.
Had I thrown my secret over the dead, it would have stood up with the
power of exalted God.
And they acquaint me with the present and the future, and they give me
information, and so, will you terminate your wrangles with me.

My drums have been beaten in the heavens and earth, and I have been
given the rank of Good Luck.
11
The empire of Allah is under my Command, and my time has been purified
before birth.
12
Each Saint has a station, and I follow in the footsteps of the Prophet the Full
Moon of Perfection.
13
I am Hasani and my abode is my cell, and my feet are on the neck of each
Saint.
