O Heart of Pure Consciousness, You are the ruler of my heart. After countless ages you brought my soul all it ever wished for.
The eyes of all people happy and sad, are closed to the truth. May their eyes be opened! May they look upon Beloved and get drunk on His beauty.
May their hands reach toward the Truth. May their ears hear the voice of the Beloved. May the shadow of a Friend fall upon everyone who has devotion.
All the world praises you, But where did this "you" come from? All the universe is born of Love But where did this Love come from?
O Beloved, you are the owner of the land of life the light of my heart; Even the King of Love knows no love that is not yours.
