AS A SILKWORM WEAVING & DYING AWAY AMID ITS PERFORMANCE

SHAYKH BAHÂ'I - PLEA FOR UNITY WITH THEE

So long in plea for unity with thee
                 My eyelids immersed in tears
So long in plea for unity with thee                
                 Thou, the sole beloved!
The arrow of thy sorrow pierced all lovers’ hearts                 
                 For how longer on, shall we be apart?
Countless are we, all in thought on thee

                 Alas! Thou be concealed from our sight
Thou, the sole beloved!
                 Bird finds thy fine face in every turf
Butterfly's enlightened in the flame's core
                 Sufi spots thy essence in every scene and face
Meaning one can see thee at every glance, and bit
                 Meaning, I am not mad as knocking at every door
I knock at every door
                 In every sea wherein I dive, thou be the only host
To every route I walk, thy shine's the sole light
                 In tavern and mosque, thou are the only Lord
Thou are the only Lord
                 Thou are the journey's end, thou are the plea
Thou are the reason that I wander drunk
                 The reason is thee that I meet the monk
The reason is thee that I pray in mosque
                 They all are pleas, and thou are the promise
Thou are the sole promise
                 The reason is thee that I wander drunk
The reason is thee that I meet with the monk
                 The reason is thee that I pray in mosque
They all are pleas, and thou are the promise
                 Thou are the sole promise
