Every door that’s closed, they say another one opens
Which one do we close for Mehdi to reawaken?
Which door… will return you?
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
* * *
O’ love that sleeps in my heart as a beloved
O’ he who wants nothing more than to be loved
Know that not a day passes when you’re unloved
Centuries have passed, but you are still beloved
If centuries pass, the most loved one is forgotten
Yet a thousand years and you remain unforgotten
Daily… we recall you
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
* * *
Our patience has not been defeated by time
But we’ve known nothing but pain in our lifetime
Our love for you itself has become a crime
Will you leave us waiting till the end of time?
I can’t exaggerate when I tell you O’ Master
We’ve become the herd that wolves look for just to slaughter
Aidless… we await you
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
* * *
Could it be that nothing awakes you from sleep?
When even the heedless can’t sleep when we weep
And our tears, thousands of angels come to sweep
We tell them, till he comes, our tears let us keep
We hold onto tears, and from our hands, they are dripping
Every tear that falls, asks is the Mehdi still sleeping?
Each tear… cries out to you
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
* * *
How often a hatred on us is imposed
And door after door upon us has been closed
Yet your open door to us was not proposed
And alone, for you, injustice we opposed
Inflicted with grief, Mehdi, I asked you a question
Even if we found your door, your door would you open?
Must we… come and find you
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
* * *
So in love, that we had arguments with fate
Would you make a lover for his beloved wait?
And his absence crushes our hearts with its weight
The day these hearts are destroyed, do you await?
How we’re told that fate, closes doors and so opens doors
Yet your door is closed, though on it a sea of tears pours
Does fate… understand you?
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
* * *
Enough waiting, just show us toward your door
If you need lovers, millions to you pour
If you need a key, we’ll break open this door
O’ loner, know your name, millions adore
A letter of hope, I seal and, in the wind, send
Don’t keep us waiting, for we shall wait until time’s end
Reply… I request you
We’re still… waiting for you… to reawaken
