O pupil of my eye,
Do not move away from me.
You are the most beloved of my life.
Do not forget me.
Do not move away from me.

You are the soothing coolness of sandalwood
And the intoxicating fragrance of the ketakii flower.
You are the warmth of my life.
Do not forget my tears of love.
Do not move away from me.

You are the softness of the shefalii flower.
You are the garden of spring.
You are the rhythm of life.
You are the infinite effulgence.
Do not move away from me.
