This poem is authored by Seyyed Nur-od-dīn Ne'matollah ibn Mohammad ibn Kamal-od-dīn Yahya Kuhbanani Mahani Kermani , also known as Shah Ne'matollah Vali (Persian: شاه نعمتالله ولی; born 1331 in Aleppo, Syria, died 1431 in Mahan, Iran). Shah Ne'matollah was a 14/15th-century Sufi master, Islamic scholar, and Persian poet from Arab (Kazemi) descent. After seeking knowledge and travelling extensively, he settled in Kerman (present-day Iran), establishing his Khanqah. He appears to be linked to the selseleh (authoritative spiritual lineage) of the Qaderi Sufi order, and is claimed to be the founder of the Ne'matollahi Order.
This ghazal is a love-poem dedicated to God, Glorified and Exalted is He. Shah Ne'matollah Vali begins this poem by describing his state of divine intoxication, being "drunken and infatuated" to the point that he sees nothing else but the dilbar (the one who takes the heart away). He continuously asserts that despite his knowledge (e.g. being a Hafez of the Qur'an, etc), in 'the presence' of the beloved he is naught, like 'frankincense burnt up by fire'. The poem extolls God's Vastness and Eminence and sweetly expresses the 'plight' of a lover of God, Mighty and Majestic is He.
