Suhni entered the water with a jar in her hand. She carefully watched the course of the river's current. "What, if life is sacrificed in the test for the beloved!" That is the fundamental test for union with the beloved. (Then let it occur). O Allah! May you take safely to their goal those who are scheduled to meet (the beloved) at night time!

She hold the jar, views water's flow and enters it,
"To immolate herself for friends sake, is to her a paltry task."
Those whose happiness night holds, Lord! let them safely cross.

Pot in hand, she enters the waters, watching its flow;
She passes through the state of "standing in fear before the Lord",
No danger can longing ones withhold,
Lord! let those safely cross, whose joy night holds.

Pitcher in hand, she stepped into the river after,
Looking it over for turns and twist,
'Head is sacrificed at beloved's feet, so what.
'That is the secret of union,
Take them safely across, O God,
Whose time for pleasure of union is night.
