The Pain of my Heart

Oh, the pain of my heart – my Beloved only knows it! Oh, my Beloved, Thou hast pierced my heart with the arrow of Thy Love. My heart burns and yearns for a glimpse of Thy face. Oh, the pain of my heart! Come, friends, tell me tales of Love and sing me songs of Him! My heart burns and yearns for a glimpse of His face! Oh, the pain of my heart! Oh, grant me this prayer, oh Beloved! Take away Thy veil and let my eyes drink deep of Thy Holy Beauty – and thus quench my thirst and relieve my pain! Oh, the pain of my heart!
