A drop of this wine is inestimable. (What to talk of a sip or a cup thereof!) Even a yearning for it is worth the sacrifice of life. Our function is to adore Him, and His general reaction is likely to be coquetish; (Our ‘prayer’ should be to worship His coquetish glance. Thus its pattern is different from that of the conventional prayer.)
Moosa said: “My Lord! show Yourself to me so that I may look at You”. He said: “you shall not see Me”. (143, AI-Aaraf).
Note: This is a singular instance of ‘coquetry’ as it implied a Command, and in addition, it carried a note of finality, forbidding repetition of the request. And yet Prophet Moosa continued his mission unabashed. Shah, however, was extremely humble in his approach to Allah.
چشم اگر اینست و ابرو ایں و ناز و عشوہ این
الوداع اے زہد و تقویٰ اے عشق و دین۔
(Muhammad Shirim Maghribi)
If this is the eye (i.e. Allah), this the eye brow (i.e. His veil) and this His Coquetry, then adieu to piety, love and religion.
عاشق ہمیشہ فکر رخ دوست کند
معشوقہ کرشمہ، کہ نکوست کند
(Khuwaja Ajmeri)
A lover always thinks about the Beloved’s face and the latter indulges in good coquetry.

Where drop of wine Divine is beyond all price,
There longing calls only for sacrifice.
Ours to worship, Beloved is to grace shower.

Where drop of wine Divine is beyond all price,
There longing calls only for sacrifice.
Ours to worship, Beloved's to graces shower.

A drop of wine is so precious that even longing for it is worth giving up life,
The amorous playful glance of the beloved is like prayer for us.
