Описание: Don't forget to enable captions/CCs for subtitles and switch to 720p.

¹ One of the 99 Qur'anic names of God, usually translated as "The Most Generous"
² A sommelier is someone who serves wine, so is a more accurate translation for "saqi" than bartender or waiter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommelier. Wine and all of the language based around it is one of the most common metaphors in Sufi poetry, and almost never used literally.
³ One of the 99 Qur'anic names of God, which is best translated as "The Giver of Gifts" or "The Supreme Bestower"
⁵ Abdul Qadir al-Gilani, named for his native province of Gilan in 10th-century Persia. He was one of the earliest and arguably most influential Sufis in Islamic history, and is the eponymous founder of the Qadiri tariqah (Sufi order), which is probably the most widespread tariqah in the modern world.
⁶ A common epithet for Abdul Qadir al-Gilani meaning "falcon"

A hadra led by the late Shaykh Shukri al-Luhafi, the leader of Shaykh Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri's Darqawi-Hashimi-Shaghouri branch of the Shadhili tariqah ever since the death of Shaykh Mustafa al-Turkmani in 2006.

It took place in Qalabaqjiyah Mosque, Damascus, Syria, but the date/year is unknown. The munshid (vocalist) is Hassan Sarouji, and all of the poems are recited in Maqam Bayati.
