The pen of my Heart has written,
has written the thousand wonders
and the thousand Secrets
residing in my heart
The red pen of eternity
has tasted the black ink of its Lord,
The
master and the pen forming an indestructible pair,
In
the depths of the Heart revealing their interior,
So
brilliant and so dazzling
In the sun of his heart,
the master has found his Master,
Thanks
to the pen of eternity of his Heart,
The Master of the pious is at the door,
at the door of your Heart
Visible
is the light that shines in your eyes,
At the door of your Lord
you dwell day and night,
The
favourite of the humble you are,
In
this world you are not alone,
Because
your Master will always be there,
Your
life in His hands,
Your way in His footsteps
At the gate,
or rather at the source of this river
you dwell,
Tasting ceaselessly
the elixir of love of your Lord
O you the Chief of the Pious,
today light and tomorrow light,
Your life filled with light,
Your soul filled with light,
You are that temple
that the wise would so love to visit,
To
quench their thirst for God;
Stay in the clarity of this light and
taste the favours that your
Lord
made for you
Never leave the place of this temple,
this overflowing river,
Which overflows with love,
light and the grace of your Beloved
Keep looking for the way and
your voice will be heard in the thousands of
Corners
and places of the Universe,
Sucking up the stardust
that lights up in the depths
Of
this universe,
Making
you the essence of this light,
Which
surrounds the Universe
Search and find also this essence
which is in you
and reveal it
In the broad daylight of your love.
