Translation
With the runu jhunu jhunu sound,
with breath filled with fragrance,
He came, making the heart overflow.
By the strumming of the viińá, he made me restless
To capture Mohan, the Enchanter, within the mind.
Empty out all impurities.
Bring to an end the stagnancy of inertia/crudeness.
Those afflicted by pain forget all that has long gone by,
Seeing Mohan in a hundred forms.
Today, let all languages, all words, walk away silently,
When remembering the mind’s thief, again and again.
