The dawn is bathing in a delightful smile.
O god, let this dawn remain forever!
In the far sky,
in the corner of my mind,
You are present.
Let your effulgence ever be expressed!

I have spent ages in the hope of attaining you.
Today, you have fulfilled my desires.
Let the stream of compassion flow on and on for all time.
Be anywhere, be in my heart.

Today, you have manifested in visible form.
You exist therefore i exist.
With your heart and soul i have existed.
Today, i realise that your cosmic play is not the last word.
