You only

(635)  Nandana madhu sukhe duhkhe bandhu

Darling, in joy and grief the pleasant sweetness,
Upon my eyelids, nothing other than You exists.
My earnest hopes, my dearest loves,
And all my words, You've taken off.

I pour out my soul before You only,
Wringing my heart in warm revealing.
Listening, I hear it on the sky and breeze,
So many things that You've been telling.

In all that is perceptible or implied,
In every atom and molecule of the vast blue sky,
In pitch darkness and in bright moonlight,
And in my empty mind, You graciously reside.
