SHAYKH BAHÂ'I - PLEA FOR UNITY WITH THEE

decrease font size increase font size

So long in plea for unity with thee
   My eyelids immersed in tears
So long in plea for unity with thee
   Thou, the sole beloved!
The arrow of thy sorrow pierced all lovers’ hearts
   For how longer on, shall we be apart?
Countless are we, all in thought on thee 
   Alas! Thou be concealed from our sight
Thou, the sole beloved!
   Bird finds thy fine face in every turf
Butterfly's enlightened in the flame's core
   Sufi spots thy essence in every scene and face
Meaning one can see thee at every glance, and bit
   Meaning, I am not mad as knocking at every door
I knock at every door
   In every sea wherein I dive, thou be the only host
To every route I walk, thy shine's the sole light
   In tavern and mosque, thou are the only Lord
Thou are the only Lord
Thou are the journey's end, thou are the plea
Thou are the reason that I wander drunk
   The reason is thee that I meet the monk
The reason is thee that I pray in mosque
   They all are pleas, and thou are the promise
Thou are the sole promise
   The reason is thee that I wander drunk
The reason is thee that I meet with the monk
   The reason is thee that I pray in mosque
They all are pleas, and thou are the promise
   Thou are the sole promise
