What will happen if I love someone who will remain forever?
I love someone who can be caught
in this trap, in the clay –
in the moment of separation
in which body, mind and soul remain together!
Whose everyone –
What will happen if I love someone?
I love someone from the earth
who hugs my earthen body
and my tender mind and soul remain awake for him forever!
Whose high above everyone –
What will happen if I love someone?
Whose feet I hold tightly, whose hot eyes do not cry
Whose only I hold in my heart, alone and alone,
No obstacles can stop me –
How will I love him
How will I want him
You are far away and distant
What will happen if I love someone who is so great?
Stay far away, Lord, do not come near,
Do not go far from me,
My friend who is greedy for offerings,
My flower-filled temple,
I will offer you offerings every day,
I will keep you in the temple,
I will keep you in the middle of the temple.
No matter how much happiness and sorrow I come out,
I will sit and say, My friend,
you are a worshiper! On the altar of worship,
I will love you with greatness,
I have been soaked by your love.
Yet, stay silent!
What will happen if I love you who is so silent?
If you want to be loved,
then leave all your greatness,
You are a greedy slave,
greedy for worship, greedy for praise,
Avoid all greed,
Come and become a man of the earth!
Sit on the earth and love you,
I will keep you in the midst of happiness and sorrow
If you want to get the love of people,
Lord, come first as a human being,
Come as a human being
in the happiness and sorrow of people,
In the form of life and death.
I will sit in the temple of human pilgrimage,
I will live in you better – Lord,
in this human being,
in this human being,
The light of heavenly love will come.
