Joy, joy, the heart takes flight,
Joy, joy, bathed in pure light,
Joy, joy, a vibrant sound,
Joy, joy, on hallowed ground.

We bring, we bring, a treasure found,
From Kabul's depths, profound,
A sight that makes the spirit leap,
And waters of desire steep.
Slowly, softly, the heart's delight.
Joy, joy, the heart takes flight,
Joy, joy, bathed in pure light,
Joy, joy, a vibrant sound,
Joy, joy, on hallowed ground.
We bring, we bring, a treasure found.

If eyes are raised, arrows ignite,
If tresses fall, in chains of night,
If beauty blooms, the moths will burn,
If beauty blooms, the moths return.
If you should smile, angels weep,
On earth, your match, no soul can keep.
In joy, no equal, truly art,
Joy, joy, the throbbing heart.
Joy, joy, the heart takes flight,
Joy, joy, bathed in pure light,
Joy, joy, a vibrant sound,
Joy, joy, on hallowed ground.
We bring, we bring, a treasure found.

Like roses, bathed in the dawn,
A body fresh, a lotus born,
We walk, we breathe, a Taj Mahal,
Like roses, bathed in the dawn,
A body fresh, a lotus born,
We walk, we breathe, a Taj Mahal,
From Paradise, we steal the hue,
From Paradise, the winds blew,
Of flowers, we take their grace,
In joy, the heart finds place.
We whisper to your soul's desire,
Joy, joy, the heart takes flight,
Joy, joy, bathed in pure light,
Joy, joy, a vibrant sound,
Joy, joy, on hallowed ground.
We bring, we bring, a treasure found.
