I have come to cherish the love for You, like a precious pearl in my heart and soul
And lay down my head at Your threshold, and to make fruitful the love for You
I will avert my eyes from myself, and turn my gaze to You
I am lost in the saqi’s beauty, how can I behold any but You!
I have come to defeat and abolish both faith and unbelief
And empty my head of any thought of other than You
I have come to break idols, and to break into song of love
To prostrate myself before You, and to fill my chest with fire
I will set up taverns everywhere and make wine lawful to all
I will make everyone drunk, and will take to the road once more
I will repeat Your name, and breathe the sorrow of love for You
I will sacrifice myself to You, and leave behind this “I” and “We”
You are Love, and the Light Bestower of the soul
I have a sign from You; I have come to announce Your benevolence to all the world
