When self was offered, utterly erased,
The veil that stood between, no longer faced.
No longer veiled, He stands, the only One,
No other veiled, beneath the setting sun.
No longer veiled, He stands, the only One,
No other veiled, beneath the setting sun.
When self was offered, utterly erased.
When unaware, of our own heart's plight,
We watched the skills of others, day and night.
When unaware, of our own heart's plight,
We watched the skills of others, day and night.
But when our flaws, at last, met our own gaze,
No fault remained, in all the world's maze.
But when our flaws, at last, met our own gaze,
No fault remained, in all the world's maze.
When self was offered, utterly erased.
Zafar, a man, you cannot truly know,
Zafar, a man, you cannot truly know,
Though he be king, with power's dazzling show,
Whose pleasure lacks remembrance of the Divine,
Whose anger holds no fear of the sublime.
Whose pleasure lacks remembrance of the Divine,
Whose anger holds no fear of the sublime.
When self was offered, utterly erased.
