Number 22

You are drunk on yourself, and we are all drunk on you; you exist through yourself, and we all exist through you. Since in every way our being belongs to you, we have surrendered ourselves entirely into your hands.
Explanation: The 'drunkenness' here is the classic Sufi image of being intoxicated by divine or beloved presence. 'Giving one's hand' means complete surrender.
