Translation:
O you who burn with love…
O you who ardently desire Our Excellence
Our dowry is costly for whoever covets Us
A worn-out body, an afflicted soul
Eyelids that do not taste sleep
No room, in the depths of one’s being, for any other than Us
Such is the ransom to be paid by whoever would court!
Annihilate yourself in an Eternal extinction
Surely, it will lead you to The Garden!
Take off your shoes on the threshold of Our Abode
Where Our Absolute Holiness dwells
Detach yourself from the two universes
Remove what lies between Us!
If you are asked about the One
For whom you burn with love, answer:
“I am the One I love and the One I love is Me!”
I am for God and through God I am
Life cannot serve as an abode!
Seeing myself, I see only You
Convinced that You are Me
The substrate of all souls forms but One in Us
Like all bodies united in one!
