Khusrau, night of union's bliss,
I awoke, with my Beloved's kiss.
Khusrau, night of union's bliss,
I awoke, with my Beloved's kiss.
My body, His; my heart, His own,
Both merged, a single hue we've known.
My body, His; my heart, His own,
Both merged, a single hue we've known.
Khusrau, the river of love's embrace,
Flows backward, defying time and space.
Khusrau, the river of love's embrace,
Flows backward, defying time and space.
Who surfaces, is lost, undone,
Who drowns within, the prize is won.
Who surfaces, is lost, undone,
Who drowns within, the prize is won.
Khusrau, the game of love I play,
With my Beloved, come what may.
If I win, He is mine, I see,
If I lose, still He's with me.
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined,
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined.
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined.
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined.
Beloved, hear my plea, I pray,
Beloved, hear my plea, I pray,
Tell all of love's sacred way.
Tell all of love's sacred way.
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined,
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined.
You are mine, and none beside,
You are mine, and none beside,
I seek your shelter, deep inside.
I seek your shelter, deep inside.
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined,
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined.
Though the world calls me a rustic fool,
Though the world calls me a rustic fool,
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined,
I, with my Beloved, my gaze entwined.
He promised to come, yet lingers afar,
He promised to come, yet lingers afar,
My head is bowed, beneath his star.
My head is bowed, beneath his star.
He promised to come, yet lingers afar,
He promised to come, yet lingers afar,
My head is bowed, beneath his star.
My head is bowed, beneath his star.
