Bolt from heaven

(315)  Kon alakar dola ese lagalo

What auspicious jolt has struck
The half-blown flower of my mind?
By that jolt surged tearfully my psyche,
That which had been ignorant and asleep.

For so long, out of shame, I could not blossom.
Today, the Unknown snatched my hidden nectar;
Now, night and day, I constantly chase after Him,
Undeterred by shyness or by fear.

Bud petals were ensnared by phenomenal allure;
Getting a jolting impact, that allure went away.
Heart full of love, mouth full of sweet words,
Devoutly I have welcomed Him, the Lord of mind.
