I went to the tavern of the Magi to lay down my head,
to lay my head at the feet of the old master of the Magi.
Explanation: The 'tavern of the Magi' is a classic Sufi image for a place of spiritual intoxication, and its old master (pir) is the guiding spiritual teacher. Bowing the head signals total submission and reverence.
