A Chant

Bring me back, O my God, to meeting You!

In the mihrab of the everlasting mosque..

Or in the bell of the church..

For I have grown fond of the summits

And made friends with the heights of the ether

How should I not blaze up?

When the release of the open skies

Washes over my spirit

Brimming with magic

Bring me back to meeting You!

From the song of morning

I shall fashion my dress

And from the jasmine of eternity

I shall adorn my being

With necklace upon necklace

Whenever my serenity dawns

I sing with the dew

In radiant melodies..

Bring me back to meeting You!

For the threads of darkness

Weave their chants

Around my heart

And I go mad with longing

In the blaze of dry stubble

That will not slacken its burning

Until I see You..

Bring me back to meeting You

For the stars will not crack apart

Nor the spheres stand still

And the mountains will not fall back

So long as You...

Shield me from the sorcery of the dark

And the lies of pitch-black night

Out of the fullness of Your mercy

Bring me back to meeting You

I am weary of the dreams of minds

Tired of the radiance of the forenoon

Every day a new disguise

Every moment a deception

Take me.. the clouds will not whisper

Nor the storms know

Even the stars will not see me

As I make my way to You

Your mercy, O my God — take me..

I am madness

That You may draw me near to You

That You may breathe into me strength

And patience and hope

That You may return always

And bring me back to meeting You!..
