I was heart and soul without a body before… pure, clean, pleasant.
You built my body as a guest house and put my soul in it.

O one who has flown out from this narrow cage,
O one who has gone to the heights of the sky,

One day your heart will take you to the One who caught your heart.
One day your soul will take you to the Beloved.
