I am so drunk from Thy love that I no longer know myself, I am in wonderment in this drunkenness and yet remain silent. Being away from Thee is not possible, nor is Thy embrace full of love, Yet bewildered am I from the perfume of Thy black hair. Unveil Thy Face, O Saki, for my soul is in quest. Give a gulp of that wine that will remove my breath and mind. In this monastery full of affliction I have accepted much suffering With this thought—that one day I would drink the wine of gnosis. In this world I have Thee, I have Thee alone. Union with Thee is the goal of my life; I continue to strive on this path.
The fervor for meeting Thee burns within me like fire, I continue to burn in this fire though I am annihilated and silent.
