Lyrics

O life of my body and my soul, from you it is filled

lest I should say that you are my soul, O my soul

O you by whom the eye and its seeing are lit

and O you by whom every sea and every shore appeared

O remedy of our arrogance and our repute

O you who are our Plato and our Galen

Where have I come from, and for what was my coming?

Where do I go at the last? Will you not show me my homeland?

Come back, come back, whatever you are, come back

though you be unbeliever, fire-worshipper, idolater, come back

This threshold of ours is no threshold of despair

though you have broken your repentance a hundred times, come back

All your restlessness comes from your seeking after rest

Become a restless seeker, so that rest may come to you

Seek water less, and come by thirst instead

so that water may spring for you from above and from below

Until you become an intimate, you will hear no secret from behind this veil

The stranger's ear is no place for a whispered message
