Poem:
The Lord is in the midst of you,
And he is a story told,
O, how he has come to dwell,
And mark for all to see,
A light that is ablaze with light,
The sea is not his limit,
And he is the one who is,
When he is in the midst of that world,
Here is the unbreakable bond,
That is the joy of your delight in love,
And the rivers of streams of light,
Only they is that pervades the whole world,
From the east to the west,
They are blind who hope to see by the light of reason,
The light of the light of separation,
The house of reason is far away.
How blessed is Kafir who stands inside this great joy,
He sings within his own soul,
It is the joy of the soul of light,
It is the light of the forgetting of sorrow,
It is the light that transcends and is coming,
And it is the light that is coming.
