I laugh not only with my  mouth, 
But with my whole body, 
Because I am out of myself. 
I am in  privacy with the Beloved of the world. 
 
O one who comes with a torch 
In  the early morning to take the heart away, 
Take the Soul to the sky,  too. 
Don't leave the heart alone. 
 
Don't make the Soul a stranger 
To  the heart with anger and greed. 
Don't leave this here; 
Call the other one  to come along. 
 
Send the news the Beloved deserves; 
Make a general  invitation. 
0 my Light , how long will 
This one be with You 
And that  one stay alone? 
 
If you don't come tonight, 
Close your lips tonight  like last night. 
O my Sweetheart, not only will I make noise, 
I will make  a scene and cause an uproar.
