And if there is a plunge I should take,
who shall instill into my mind the courage?
What is the way and what is a sin?
The colours, the forms, the sounds - if they are false,
then what is true?
Remove the veil of dust, O Lord-
O Magnificent Light of the World,
O Glory that is humbly hidden,
O Truth of the Creation,
reveal to me Your Holy Spirit,
if it pleases You.

O you who listens to me
secretly.
Who are you?
Are you myself
or yourself?
O you who are always by me,
do you never sleep?
O you who provides me
all I want-
Who are you?
I know you are God
And that you hide
in my heart.
But when will I
reach you?
I know you will
reach me.
And who knows
where I will go?

What is right and
what is wrong?

Your grace is everything, Lord.

I do not deserve your love, Lord,
but who else is mine?
Who else do I beg from?
Please, have mercy on your child.

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.
