Govind, Govind, Govind!
Your cow cries out to you!
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord!

Is this me to me,
me to you,
you to you,
or you to me?

The dam holds back the river,
Look! The water has been held up-
the fish are darting in all directions
the strain is building,
the force increasing.
O Lord, when will the blessed release come?
Is the time soon or far away?
O Guru, please forgive this fool;
please quickly open the floodgates
so that the river may rush to where it must-
the ocean.

O Great Being,
O Beloved of the Lord:
Let this fool not have a doubt.
O embodiment of the Lord,
O light of every eye
O breath of breath
O embodiment of the holy Word.

Blessed, blessed is my destiny
that I have seen you, O great Saint.
O Creator of the World,
I forever fall at your feet.
Please save me, please save me!

This egoistic being has tightly clasped your feet, O Gurdev-
Please reveal your feet in my heart.
