Give me the wine, cupbearer, that burns my soul,
that burns away all worries about this and that.
Give me a fire that melts me down,
then evaporates the water and annihilates my existence.
Give me a wine that makes me lost from myself,
that I might shatter the jug and submerge myself in the vat.
Give me a wine that sets my soul ablaze,
that burns away my heart and soul as well as all thought.
Give me a wine that makes me drunk,
that sets me free from the darkness of self-existence.
Give me a wine that drives me mad,
that turns me into a stranger to all creation.
Give me a wine that relieves me of self,
that I might dwell safely in a corner of the tavern.
Let the tavern of Unity become my home,
so that my heart desires and beholds nothing but God.
