Fly away, fly away, O bird,
Fly away, fly away, O bird,
With eyes of deepest night,
With a face of pure delight,
Intoxicated, soaring high, fly away,
Fly away, fly away, O bird, fly away.
You built my home, you built my home,
My home, yes, my home, you built it,
You fashioned two worlds for me,
Two worlds, two worlds, you fashioned them,
You are my beloved, O bird,
You are my beloved, O bird,
You are my beloved, O bird,
Bird, fly away, fly away,
Fly away, fly away, O bird, fly away.
The bird takes flight, steals my heart,
The bird takes flight, steals my heart,
Becoming a madman, then breaking the heart of beauty's reflection,
Fly away, O bird, fly away.
In one hand, your tresses, in the other, the ocean,
In one hand, your tresses, in the other, the ocean,
I become the Kaaba of love, I become the vista of beauty,
I become the Kaaba of love, I become the vista of beauty,
Then to India, then to India, we will proclaim love's message,
We will reconcile the estranged,
We will reconcile the estranged,
Freeing humanity from humanity,
Bird, fly away, fly away,
Fly away, fly away, O bird, fly away.
