Last night I learned how to be a lover of God
To live in this world and call something my own
I looked inward
And the beauty of my own emptiness
Filled me till dawn
It enveloped me like a mine of rubies
Its hue clothed me in red silk
Within the cavern of my soul
I heard the voice of the lover crying
Drink now! Drink now!
I took a sip and saw the vast ocean
wave upon wave caressed my soul
The lovers of God dance around
And the circle of their steps
becomes a ring of fire around my neck
Heaven calls me with its rain and thunder
A hundred thousand cries
Yet I cannot hear
All I hear is the call of my Beloved.
To live in this world and call something my own
I looked inward
And the beauty of my own emptiness
Filled me till dawn
It enveloped me like a mine of rubies
Its hue clothed me in red silk
Within the cavern of my soul
I heard the voice of the lover crying
Drink now! Drink now!
I took a sip and saw the vast ocean
wave upon wave caressed my soul
The lovers of God dance around
And the circle of their steps
becomes a ring of fire around my neck
Heaven calls me with its rain and thunder
A hundred thousand cries
Yet I cannot hear
All I hear is the call of my Beloved.
