Life in heaven
I dream of heaven when I am awake, with shattered thoughts at daybreak
I see the sun on the horizon, my fair maiden from her sleep is rising
In the halls of heaven the virgin feasts, not ever touched by man or beast
Her body alight with vivid light, a precious gem glittering so bright
Her parted lips, as ripe figs, her scattered servants immortal kids
My longing for her is quite compelling, in a crystal palace my maiden is dwelling
Her silky dress accessorized with gold, her silver sleeves were slightly rolled
On an ivory sofa she is reclining, silky pillows with golden lining
In the shades of heaven the righteous root, with an abundance of meat and nectar fruit
They never bleed and never ache, without a sin always awake
All hatred from their hearts extracted, pure souls, brothers connected
On platforms of light life they enjoy, above them roam immortal boys
From Salsabiel they all shall drink, a healthy cup of water spring
Fountains of water, ponds of beer, non like the eye has seen, nor the ear could hear
Rivers of milk and pools of honey, cups of wine and endless bliss
Life in heaven is man’s reward, only in heaven he will meet his Lord
