A wagtail's salvation

(555)  Tumi dur akasher dhruvatara

You are the polestar of the distant sky.
Through Your mercy the path is traced
By those who have gone astray in life.

Passing forest and mountain, in storm and quake,
A timid wagtail soaring in the heavens,
She advances, wending her way by Your grace,
In any circumstance, her only salvation.

If a heart be anxious from pain or grief,
In every misfortune, it always finds shelter.
With a tender touch and a smile that's sweet,
Rapidly, having neared, You remove the trouble.
