Beni beni [English translation]

From your Door of Benevolence, cast your generosity upon me

Don't let me mix into the world of matters

Overlook my rebellion, show compassion

Take me, O Friend, to my goal - the ultimate destination

(Take) me me me me, O Beloved, (take) me me

Take me, O Friend, to my goal - the ultimate destination

"Be!" You ordered, and You created every object

You brought the existance to Your perfection

You made the Ninth Heaven a throne, and placed Yourself there

Then you reduced me, O Friend, down into the struggle of the world

(Take) me me me me, O Beloved, (take) me me

You reduced me, O Friend, down into the struggle of the world

You gave unending pain after pain to Dertli* (poet's nickname, meaning 'The Painful')

You gave neither the patience, nor the effort

Neither the reign to him, nor the state

Why on earth, O Friend, have you brought me to this world

(Take) me me me me, O Beloved, (take) me me

Countless thanks, O Friend, you made my way to a safe haven at last

(Take) me me me me, O Beloved, (take) me me

Take me, O Friend, to my goal - the ultimate destination
