Today, the eternal beloved our sweet lord
left his body and released the divine Word.
His Silence held us in his loving embrace
and broken, exiled us to long for his grace.
Now, he has forsaken us but lives in the heart
and speaks to us, promising never will he part.
Long, long ago we made a covenant with God:
our loyalty is to the Prophet- signed in blood.
We are the ones who cling to his kamli coat;
We are the ones who praise with golden note.
The Word that was made flesh and now released
beats within us, lives on our lips, never to cease.
Darvish sings, O glorious eternal Ancient One
your divine Name is our bright transcendent Sun.
