al-Būrīnī
الدهر قد يعد فى الاسماء الحسنى والزمان الطويل والابد الممدود والسنة وقول لم يبق بصم الباء وسكون الباءمن أبقى والحشاشة بضم الحاء بقية الروح فى المريض والجريح والخفاء الكتم والاظهافه و من الاضداد والنهى بضم النون جمع نهية بمعنى العقل والكتم بفتح الكاف بمعنى الستروالاخفاء والظاهر أن الخفاء هنا؟ بمعنى الاظهار والافيازم تشبيه الشئ بنفسه وهذا مأخوذ من قولهم الشئ اذا جاوز حده انعكس الى ضده كما نص عليه المحققون ومنه قول الشهاب السهروردى يانور النور وياخفيا من فرط الظهور
Al-dahr is sometimes counted among the most beautiful names; [it also means] long time, extended endless duration, and the year. His saying lam yubqi is with ḍamma on the […] and sukūn on the bāʾ, from abqā. Ḥushāsha, with ḍamma on the ḥāʾ, is the remnant of the soul in the sick and the wounded. Khafāʾ is concealing and making manifest, and it is one of the aḍdād (words with opposite meanings). Nuhā, with ḍamma on the nūn, is the plural of nuhya, meaning intellect. Katm, with fatḥa on the kāf, means covering and concealing. It appears that khafāʾ here means making manifest; otherwise it would entail comparing a thing to itself. This is taken from their saying, “A thing, when it exceeds its limit, turns into its opposite”, as the verifiers have stated. From it is the saying of al-Shihāb al-Suhrawardī: “O Light of light, O Hidden through excess of manifestness.”
al-Nābulusī
﴿منها﴾
أى هذه المدامة المذكورة يعنى فى بصائر المكلفين أحكامها وذلك لاستيلاء الغفلات على قلوب أ كثرهم
I.e. [of] this aforementioned wine; he means its rulings in the inner sight of those who are morally responsible. That is because heedlessness has taken hold of the hearts of most of them.
﴿الدهر﴾
المعنى به هناز خارف الدنيا و زينتها الشاغلة للقلوب الغافلة والعائقة عن النهوض الى شهود تجليات الحق تعالى فيها
What is meant by it here is the ornaments of this world and its adornment, which occupy heedless hearts and hinder [them] from rising to shuhūd (witnessing) of the tajalliyāt (self-disclosures) of the Real Most High in it.
al-Nābulusī
﴿غير حشاشة﴾
المعنى فى ذلك ان الدهر المكنى به عن الزخارف الباطلة والزينة العاطلة لم يترك فى قلوب أكثر العباد حشاشة روحانية وبقية روح أمرية
The meaning of this is that time, by which are alluded the false ornaments and the idle adornment, has not left in the hearts of most servants [other than] a spiritual last breath and a remnant of a spirit of the command.

al-Nābulusī
﴿خفاها﴾
بالقصر لضرورة الوزن والاصل خفاءها والضمير للمدامة المذكورة
With the short [final vowel] by necessity of the metre; the original is khafāʾahā. The pronoun refers to the aforementioned wine.

كَتْمُOnly al-Nābulusī comments here.
al-Nābulusī
﴿كتم﴾
الكتم هنا ترشيح للاستعارة يعنى أن خفاء تلك الحقيقة عند العقول البشرية يشبه خفاء الاسرار وكتمها فى صدور الذين أوتوا العلم الالهى اه
Katm here is a tarshīḥ (reinforcement) of the metaphor. He means that the hiddenness of that reality to human intellects resembles the hiddenness of secrets and their concealment in the breasts of those who have been given divine knowledge.
