Nazir Akbarabadi - The performance of Your will



I am a lump of gold,
Melt me in the fire,
Whenever You wish.
At Thy pleasure
I will dance to any tune You play.
Test me,
Reveal my hidden purposes,
My only happiness
Lies in the performance of Your Will.
Cover me,
If it pleases You,
With love and tenderness,
Or draw your sword,
And cut me limb from limb.
Defend and sustain me,
or take my life,
It is all One to me.
I am a fakir,
A lover,
This is my refrain.
My only happiness
Is the performance of Your will.
Whether it leads to happiness or pain,
I am content.
Keep me at your door
Or dismiss me,
I shall be satisfied.
I am a lover,
What care I where I sit.
Lift me to heaven
Or make the dust my bed,
My only happiness
Is the performance of Your will.
Whether it leads to happiness or pain,
I am content.
