The brilliance of the skies
On thy look back to the city
When the beloved in benediction
Who told her that the lover
In broken heart the gathering
When angels sit to listen
For the song of eternity
In love thou sayest
The finality who claims
But to the greater being
The universal love
When the damsel her hands
To the skies in raga of devotion
Thy image in her eyes when
The song in tears rolled her cheek
Separation thy destiny
But of memories thou make
Like treasures in thy chest
Loves humble prostrations
Before another night
The night longer than ever
In the darkness of the earth
When they descend thou
Imagine then for those lost
Forever but who lives to eternity
The angel when in innocence
The song that is not finished
Yet thy horse of wings
On the city of love
In cheers when the celebrations
Thinketh how many bestowed
With love so eternal
Thy vigils for the beloved
The banner of love
The chants to the paradise
The paradise on earth
Where life galore
Understandeth not thou
The songs of love
And the signs in thy vision
