LYRICS:

On the steed of patience I seek my Beloved
With longing, traversing this homeland of dust
If I strive a hundred years and fail
I will not falter

I will soar in the air even as I walk
Upon this sand
And I will move over this water even as I run
Upon the land

In thy soul, build thou a fire
And burn all thoughts and words entire
In thy soul, build thou a fire
And burn all thoughts and words entire

How can a fleeting shadow
Reach the everlasting sun
Love is a veil
Between the lover and the Beloved

I have taken my heart away from this world
And the world to come
In all their desires I see this search
for the Desired One

Majnun sought purest Layli in the dust
While learned men shook their heads in disgust
He replied, “I seek her everywhere, I seek her everywhere
And I shall find her…”

In thy soul, build thou a fire
And burn all thoughts and words entire
In thy soul, build thou a fire
And burn all thoughts and words entire

Split the atoms heart
And within, thou wilt find the sun
Love is a veil
Between the lover and the Beloved
