Within This Body

Further than this universe
To indoor step by step
I passed eighteen thousand universe
Within this body

Seventy thousand of veils
I passed over, opened blinds of secrets
 Meeting with Friend
I found Him within this body

I chose not to see, like blinds
I kept my words unspoken
Turned His divine to litany
Within this body

Thundered like skies
Wept like earths
Burbled like brooks
I flowed within this body

They laid a bed for us
Embroidered it with divine light
“For whom is this?”
I asked within this body

I didn’t left my place
Not my Sheikh either
I took a bowl from love bottle
Drank it within this body

O lover, I’m a wanderer
With Friend is my bazaar
I found His countenance there
Within this body
