Bind again these scattered leaves,

Revive the law of love! 1640

Take us back to serve thee as of old,

Commit thy cause to them that love thee!

We are travellers: give us devotion as our goal!

Give us the strong faith of Abraham!

Make us know the meaning of “There is no god,” 1645

Make us acquainted with the mystery of “except Allah”!

I who burn like a candle for the sake of others

Teach myself to weep like the candle.
