O Lord, You know my love for You.
Now, what will You do? ||1||Pause||

Bit by bit, it is eaten, but still, it does not forget the water. ||2||
The Lord, our King, is father to no one, except those who love Him.
The veil of emotional attachment has been cast over the entire world, but it does not bother the Lord’s devotee. ||3||

That which brought me to worship and adore You – I am still suffering that pain. ||4||2||
