THE BLISS OF THE HEAVENLY
Bees and flowers,
moths and flame,
fish and water,
light and love,
rain and clouds,
hearts and tears,
cannot be without each other.
O saqi, please... please wait,
let me be,
force me not with your gait
and beauty,
my joy is still,
my misery...
My eyes see,
eternity,
when I am with,
My loving 'she'.
O saqi, please...please tarry,
force me not to be merry,
I am as happy as I can be,
for my heart's joy,
is now my beloved 'she'.
A mystery,
to all others,
and even your tavern O saqi,
cannot succeed,
in making me,
not crave her company,
for, in her eyes I can taste,
the divine drink of ecstasy,
and in her love I can feel,
the bliss of the heavenly.
