You came into my sweet garden,
Filling it with sandal fragrance.
Each moment You smile softly,
Radiating heavenly bliss.

I was alone in the garden,
And attained You while absorbed in bliss.
That light poured into my eyes,
The grandeur of Your love.

I had remained alone for ages,
Searching for You and calling You with melody and tunes.
After such long time You finally came within my reach,
All on Your own and with a smile.
