The lover is ever drunk with love He is mad She is free He sings with delight She dances with ecstasy Caught by our own thoughts We worry about everything But once we get drunk on that love Whatever will be, will be Love came And became like blood in my body It rushed through my veins And circled my heart Everywhere I looked I saw one thing The Beloved’s name written On my limbs On my left palm On my forehead On the back of my neck On my right big toe Oh my friend All that you see of me Is just a shell And the rest belongs to the Beloved This is what I see The world is green And everywhere there is a garden I see your face Luminous like a rose I see you happy You are laughing Everywhere there is a gem Inflamed from the Beloved’s mine Everywhere there is a soul Connected to another soul I wish I could give you a taste of The burning fire of love There is a fire Blazing inside of me If I cry about it or if I don’t The fire is at work Night and day People make clothing to cover their intellect But the heart of lovers Is a shroud Inflamed in golden hues of His love I have created you out of flames And am now placing you into fire You are with me Always But not aware of me All the time I am a sorcerer And have put a spell on you Now try to get away Go ahead ask me Ask me about Love And I will tell you the essence Of madness Ask me of an intellect gone mad And I will show you a soul Departed for good Ask me of a hundred calamities Of a hundred life transformations Ask me of a hundred deserts engulfed in fire Ask me of a hundred oceans red with blood Reach for the bite That doesn’t fit in your mouth Reach for the knowledge That doesn’t fit in your intellect There is a secret in the heart of the people God Reach for that secret That even Gabriel doesn’t know To Love is to reach God Never will a lover’s chest Feel any sorrow Never will a lover’s robe Be touched by mortals Never will a lover’s body Be found buried in the earth To love is to reach God I am so drunk I have lost the way in And the way out I have lost the earth the moon and the sky Don’t put another cup of wine in my hand Pour it in my mouth For I have lost the way to my mouth
