My heart is burning with Love
All can see this flame
My heart is pulsing with passion
like waves on an ocean
my friends have become strangers
and I'm surrounded by enemies
But I'm free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me
I'm at home wherever I am
And in the room of lovers
I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances
Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world
I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers
In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:
Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you!
To nourish you!
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns
Because of your love
I have lost my sobriety
I am intoxicated
By the madness of love
In this fog
I have become a stranger to myself
I'm so drunk
I've lost the way to my house
In the garden
I see only your face
From trees and blossoms
I inhale only your fragrance
Drunk with the ecstasy of love
I can no longer tell the difference
Between drunkard and drink
between Lover and Beloved
A lover knows only humility,
 he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night,
he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair
don't fret, he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you,
he longs to break the 
chains of his imprisonment,
he has no choice.
A lover asked his beloved:
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied:
I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes
I am present only for you
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar
I've lost all my strength
but from your power I am able
If I love myself
I love you
If I love you
I love myself
I am your lover,
come to my side
I will open the gate to your love
Come settle with me,
let us be neighbours to the stars
You have been hiding so long,
endlessly drifting in the sea of my love
Even so,
you have always been connected to me
Concealed, revealed,
in the known, in the un-manifest
I am life itself
You have been a prisoner of a little pond
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood
Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance
Be with me,
I will open the gate to your love
I desire you more than food or drink
My body, my senses,
my mind hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passion
for one gesture one glance from you
You come to us from another world
From beyond the stars and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure, Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you the essence of love.
You transform all who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns, troubles, 
and sorrows dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy to ruler and ruled
To peasant and King.
You bewilder us with your grace.
All evils transform into goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love in earth and sky
in heart and soul of every being.
Through your loving existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane becomes sacred again
My heart is on fire
In my madness I roam the desert
The flames of my passion
devour the wind and the sky
My cries of longing
My wails of sorrow
Are tormenting my soul
You wait patiently
Looking into my intoxicated eyes
You accept my passion
with the serenity of Love
You are the Master of Existence
One day I shall be a Lover like You
In the early dawn of happiness
you gave me three kisses
so that i would wake up
to this moment of love
I tried to remember in my heart
what i'd dreamt about 
during the night
before i became aware of this
morning, of life
I found my dreams 
but the moon took me away
It lifted me up to the firmament
and suspended me there.
I saw how my heart had fallen
on your path, singing a song
Between my love and my heart
things were happening 
which slowly, slowly 
made me recall everything.
You arouse me with your touch
although i can't see your hands.
You have kissed me with tenderness
although i haven't seen your lips.
You are hidden from me,
but it is You who keeps me alive
Perhaps the time will come 
when you will tire of kisses
i shall be happy 
even for insults from you.
i only ask that you keep 
some attention on me.
Because the idol is Your Face,
i have become an idolater.
Because the wine is from your cup,
i have become a drunkard.
In the existence of your love,
i have become nonexistent,
this nonexistence, linked to you,
is better than all existence.
Is it your face
that adorns this garden?
Is it your fragrance
that intoxicates this garden?
 
Is it your spirit, that has
made this brook a river of wine?
Hundreds have looked for you
and died searching in this garden
where you hide behind the scenes.
But this pain is not for those
who come as lovers.
You are easy to find here.
You are in the breeze
and in this river of wine.
From the beginning of my life
I have been looking for your face
but today i have seen it.
Today i have seen the charm, the beauty, 
the unfathomable grace of the
face that i was looking for
Today i have found You
and those who laughed and 
scorned me yesterday
are sorry that they were not 
looking as i did.
I am bewildered by the magnificence
of Your beauty and wish to see 
You with a hundred eyes.
My heart has burned with passion
and has searched forever for 
this wondrous beauty
that i now behold.
I am ashamed to call this love human
and afraid of God to call it divine
Your fragrant breath like the
morning breeze
has come to the stillness of
the garden.
You have breathed new life 
into me
I have become your sunshine
and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstacy
every fibre of my being is in love
with you
Your effulgence has lit a
fire in my heart
and you have made radiant 
for me the earth and sky.

00:20:18,637 --> 00:20:20,754
My arrow of love
has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart
is a place of prayer.
Both light and shadow
are the dance of Love.
Love has no cause
it is the astrolabe of God's secrets.
Lover and Loving are inseparable
and timeless
Although i may try to describe Love
when i experience it I am speechless.
Although i may try to write about Love
I am rendered helpless;
my pen breaks and the paper
slips away at the ineffable place
where Lover, Loving and Loved
are one.
Every moment is made glorious
by the light of Love
Oh God, let all lovers be content
give them happy endings
Let their lives be celebrations
Let their hearts dance in 
the fire of your love.
My sweetheart, you have aroused
my passion
Your touch has filled me
with desire
I am no longer separate from you
These are precious moments,
I beseech you
Don't let me wait 
Let me merge with you
Die! Die!
Die in this love!
if you die in this love
your soul will be renewed
Die! Die!
Don't fear the death
of that which is known 
236
00:243:58,357 --> 00:24:00,348
if you die to the temporal
you will become timeless
Die! Die!
Cutt off those chains that hold
you prisoner to the world of attachment
Die to the deathless
and you will be eternal
Die! Die!
and come out of this cloud
when you leave the cloud
you will be the effulgent moon
Die! Die!
Die to the din and the noise
of mundane concerns
In the silence of love
you will find the spark of life
Die! Die!
The moon has become a dancer 
at this festival of love
This dance of light,
this sacred blessing
This divine love, beckons us
with their eyes of fiery passion.
They are the chosen ones
who have surrendered, 
to a world beyond that
only lovers can see
Once they were particles of light
now they are the radiant sun.
They have left behind the 
world of deceitful games.
They are the privileged lovers
who create a new world
with their eyes of fiery passion.
Oh God!
I have discovered love!
How marvelous!
How good!
How beautiful it is!
My body is warm from the
heat of this love
How secret!
How deep!
How obvious it is!
I offer my salutations
to the stars and the moon
to all my brothers and all my sisters
I offer my salutations 
to the spirit of passion
that aroused and excited this
Universe and all it contains
I have fallen 
unable to rise
What kind of trap is this?
What chains have tied my hands and feet?
It is so strange and so wonderful
this loving helplessness of mine
Be silent! do not reveal the secret
of my precious love
In love, nothing is eternal
but drinking your wine,
There is no reason for bringing
my life to you, other than losing it.
I said," I just want to know you
and then disappear."
She said,"Knowing me does 
not mean dying."
The sky was lit
by the splendor of the moon
So powerful
I fell to the ground
Your love 
has made me sure
I am ready to forsake
this worldly life
and surrender to the magnificence
of your Being.
Oh lovers!
Where are you going?
Who are you looking for?
Your Beloved is right here.
She lived in your own
neighborhood.
in the wilderness and the desert.
Her face is veiled.
She hides behind screens
calling for you
while you search and lose yourself
Cease looking for flowers!
There blooms a garden in
your own home.
While you go looking for trinkets
the treasure house awaits you 
in your own being.
There is no need for suffering.
God is here,
My love for you 
has driven me insane
I wander aimlessly
the ruins of my life 
my old self a stranger to me
Because of your love
i have broken with my past
My longing for you
keeps me in this moment
My passion 
gives me courage
I look for you 
in my innermost being
I used to read
the myths of love
now i have become 
the mythical lover
I'm drenched in the flood
which has yet to come
I'm tied up in the prison
which has yet to exist
Not having played the game of chess
i'm already the checkmate
Not having tasted a single cup 
of your wine, i'm already drunk
Not having entered the battlefield
I'm already wounded and slain
I no longer know the difference
between image and reality
Like the shadow, I am and
I am not
The agony of lovers
burns with the fire of passion.
Lovers leave traces where they've been
The wailing of broken hearts
is the doorway to God.
In the orchard and rose garden
I long to see your face.
In the taste of Sweetness
I long to kiss your lips
In the shadows of passion
I long for your love
Oh! Supreme Lover!
Let me leave aside my worries
The flowers are blooming 
with the exultation of your Spirt.
By Allah!
I long to escape the prison of my ego
and lose myself in the mountains
and the desert.
These sad and lonely people tire me.
I long to revel in the drunken
frenzy of your love
and feel the strength of
Rustam in my hands.
I'm sick of mortal kings
I long to see your light.
With lamps in hand
the sheikhs and mullahs roam
the dark alles of these towns
not finding what they seek
You are the Essence of the Essence
The intoxication of love
I long to sing your praises 
but stand mute
with the agony of wishing in
my heart.
We are the mirror as well
as the face in it
We are tasting the taste 
this minute of eternity
We are pain and what cures
pain both.
We are the sweet cold water
and the jar that pours.
I want to hold you close like
a lute so we can cry out with loving.
You would rather throw 
stones at a mirror?
i am your mirror, and here 
are the stones.
I am so small i can barely be seen
How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes, they are small
but they see enormous things.
God is within
My heart is in harmony with my head
My spirit soars serves as a bird in
search of a new sky
The innocence of my life releases
the GOd i love everywhere.
There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives,
the touch of spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl 
to break its shell.
And the lily, how passionately
it needs some wild darling!
At night, i open the window 
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door
and open the love window
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.
When it's cold and raining,
you are more beautiful.
And the snow brings me
even clsoer to your lips.
The inner secret,
that which was never born
you are that freshness
and i am with you now.
I can't explain the goings,
or the comings. You enter suddenly.
and i am nowhere again.
Inside the majesty
Know that my Beloved is hidden
from everyone
Know that she is beyond the belief
of all beliefs
Know that in my heart she is as 
clear as the moon
Know that she is the life in my
body and in my soul
The Lover comes! the lover comes!
Open the way for him!
He's looking for a heart,
Lets show him one.
I scream " What you came to hunt
is me!"
He says laughingly " I'm here
not to hunt you but to save you"
