Bubbles

(597)  Prabhu carana ki kabhu pabo na

Lord, when will I ever get Your lotus feet?
You alone do I remember, only You do I revere;
So why not let me cling to Thee?

Needlessly harassed by constant beating,
I have lost all feeling of well-being.
Unattended, I am like so many fallen leaves,
Bearing in my bosom Your anxiety.

Those who arrive, soon they'll retire;
Like bubbles in an ocean of time.
But in the sea of light, with anklets of effulgence,
You do not depart; You are always present.
