Come, come, oh do come
Come, come, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh do come, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Come, the paths of love are thirsty
For so long, my arms have been thirsty
Thirsty are my eyes, thirsty is my heart
Thirsty are my eyes, thirsty is my heart
Oh river of beauty, oh do come
Oh do come, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
This life is yours, this heart is also yours
There is nothing of mine within me
You are not a stranger, I am not a stranger
We are one, oh do come
Oh do come, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
You are the Kaaba of my heart
Restless are the prostrations for you
Oh beloved of loyalty, oh faith of loyalty
Oh beloved of loyalty, oh faith of loyalty
Let me bow before you, oh do come
Oh do come, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh beloved of my desires, oh do come
Oh do come, oh do come
