O unknown one! Who are you?
You suddenly came and broke my slumber.
I do not know why.
I do not know why.

I was asleep in deep darkness.
My windows were closed. I did not open the door
Nor asked You to come in.
And yet, You stood before me face to face.
I opened my eyes and saw You, shining in divine effulgence,
Pouring Your compassionate mercy upon me.
I do not know why.
I do not know why.

I do not know where I was and why I came.
You told me about my past
And told not to cry.
The door, the windows,
My sleep and my awakening
Were all just my imaginations.
I do not know why.
I do not know why.
