al-Būrīnī

ذكرت على البناء للمجهول والضمير للمدامة والنشاوى جمع نشوان وهو السكران يقال نشوان بين النشوة بفتح النون وحكى يونس كسرها قوله ولاعار عليهم آى بسكرهم من ذكره الاثم لم يقترفوا ذنبا ولم يتعاطوا اثما فيما يظهر والعار والاثم بتعاطى الاشباح

Dhukirat is in the passive voice, and the pronoun is for the wine. Nashāwā is the plural of nashwān, which is the drunk; one says “nashwān, clearly in nashwa”, with fatḥa on the nūn, and Yūnus reported it with kasra. His saying “and no shame upon them” means: for their intoxication from its mention […]. They committed no fault and engaged in no sin, as far as appears; shame and sin come from engaging with bodily forms.

﴿أصبح﴾

المعنى فى ذلك هناذهاب ظلمة ليل الغفلة واشراق أنوار التجليات الالهية على القلب الذاكر وقوة أهله أى أهل ذلك الحى يعنى المتأهلين بالاستعداد لقبول أنوار الفيض الربانى والمدد الرحمانى

The meaning of this here is the departure of the darkness of the night of heedlessness and the shining of the lights of the divine tajalliyāt (self-disclosures) upon the remembering heart. And […] “its people”, i.e. the people of that quarter: he means those qualified by istiʿdād (preparedness) to receive the lights of the lordly fayḍ (effusion) and the merciful succour.
