My blood pulses,
Haqq, Haqq, Haqq,
I hesitate to share this secret as the last person to do so,
Our brother Hallaj,*
Met an abbreviated fate.
But what is fate in the face of eternity?
*Hallaj is a Sufi saint who was martyred for his claim "I am Haqq", or
"I am the Truth". When his blood spilled the drops were heard reciting: Truth, Truth, Truth
