O Fakir...

"To Thee Thou hast drawn my love, O Fakir!
I was sleeping in my own chamber,
and Thou didst awaken me;
striking me with Thy voice, O Fakir!

I was drowning in the deeps of the ocean of this world,
and Thou didst save me:
upholding me with Thine arm, O Fakir!

Only one word and no second--
and Thou hast made me tear off all my bonds, O Fakir!
Kabir says, 'Thou hast united Thy heart to my heart, O Fakir!'"
