1. Everyone has their share of life
And you are my share

2. O my life, while you are within me
Ever present, never absent

3. You intoxicated me with your sweet drink
Then you spoke to me, as you know

4. And I understood your words
Then I saw your radiant face

5. When the veil was lifted
Then you made me guardian of myself

6. It was you who were the guardian
O my life, while you are within me

7. Ever present, never absent
Enter the tavern and witness the meaning

8. To attain safety
So you can see me in this world standing vigil

9. Keeping watch for the Eternal
And let the cupbearer give me my share of wine

10. Before the turn of time
You know who our cupbearer is

11. The near one who answers
O my life, while you are within me

12. Ever present, never absent
From the overflowing grace of my masters

13. I attained the highest ranks
And as is the aspiration of the seeker

14. So shall be what is sought
Then I spent the rest of my time

15. In joy and rapture
And I heard the call from within me

16. From a place near
O my life, while you are within me

17. Ever present, never absent
