Burning desire

(937)  Tomare cai je mane prane

I yearn for You passionately;
With all my heart I crave Thee.
On moonlit nights and nights with no moon,
In pain and pleasure, I bethink You.

Off to the distant sky my mind goes;
There, just Your image is afloat.
Upon the vast skyblue and woodland avenues,
Around cascading waterfalls are You.

The desert mirage and the sands burning,
The pleasant heaven in a gentle breeze...
Amid them all I behold Thee.
Come closer, Lord; show me mercy.
