You reside in my heart;
my head desires You.
Night and day I spend
completely consumed by You.
I have suffered at the hands
of the people of this age;
in this world I’ve seen fidelity
only from You.
We’ve been completely drunk
with Your wine since pre-eternity;
we’ll remain completely surrendered
to Your wish till post-eternity.
I’ve no hope for heaven or
for the resurrection;
I have never wanted anyone
but You.
Once I realized that in reality
the path cannot be traveled
except on Your feet,
I gave up my own volition.
With every breath I take
I am conscious of You;
I gave up heart and soul as the price
of pleasing You.
O Nurbakhsh, because you sacrificed
your self to God,
people wish to surrender themselves
to you.
