Arise! and fill the secret ears up...
...with the music divine ever sounding;
Until the music of pleasure overflows;
But, the music of love is so sweet and delicious...
...that your heart won't ever say:
'No more', 'No more';
Instead it will raise a mad cry:
'Have you something more? '
'I am not as yet satisfied, sir',
The generous musician more and more...
... melodies shall throw...
...until to the Vale of Silence you must go;
There is a silence where is no sound to be heard...
...as if you are under the deep deep sea...
Where you cannot hear the sound...
...of the splashing waves on the surface;
Or, in the wide desert where you might hear...
...in the hush of night the sound of camel bells only...
...of far off caravan advancing towards you;
Arise, and hear the camel bells!
The Carvan of Love is approaching you...
...with your beloved, Leila, sitting in the Mahmil...
...behind the veils of music and light.
