O You, for
Whom I would sacrifice my life,
My heart,
and every particle of my being!
With Your
mercy, open for me
All the
paths to recognizing You.
The
philosopher who seeks You
Through
reason, is insane;
The hidden
path that leads to You
Lies far
from reason’s domain.
None of them
ever found
Your Holy
Abode;
Only through
Your limitless Grace
Has anyone ever found the Road.
You give
both the worlds
To the
lovers of Your Countenance;
But the two
worlds are nothing
In the eyes
of Your servants.
With just
one look
Stop all
this war and confrontation;
The world
truly needs
A sign of
Your manifestation.
Show a sign
So that the
world may be filled with Your Light;
And every
denier of the Faith
May sing
Your praises day and night.
I would not
be the least troubled
If the whole
world was to turn upside down;
I am only
worried lest Your Luminous Path
Should
become lost and unknown.
Nothing
comes out of religious debates
Put an end
to them with Your Mighty signs.
Stir
people’s consciences with earthquakes
So that fear
may bring them to Your Gates.
In the garb
of an earthquake
Make a
fountain of mercy flow;
How long
will Your wailing servant
Languish in
his sorrow?
