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?
