Sufi Drinking Song
Allauddin Ottinger
31 Dec 1994
Drink the wine down, tip the glass,
Drink with the Beloved.
Take each breath like its your last,
Drink with the Beloved.
We're a caravan you see
Moving towards our destiny
You must find the eyes to see,
Drink with the Beloved.
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
Go to the East, go to the West,
Drink with your Beloved.
Drink the cup of loving down.
Truly this is drink or drown.
What is lost it shall be found,
Drink with the Beloved.
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
So listen to the inner call,
Drink with the Beloved.
The tavern masters rise and fall,
Drink with the Beloved.
Watch the drunkards reel and spin
Feel the presence from within
Toasting to the dearest friend,
Drink with the Beloved.
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
La'illaha ill'llah
