Dutifully I ask

(1375)  Sharanagata smarane klanta

A refugee, in mind of his fatigue,
He is calling Thee plaintively.
Look at him with eyes of mercy;
Please hear his love-filled story.

So much stormy cyclone has blown down,
So much fog has fallen round;
But still he has gone unto Thee,
Toward the sound of Your lyre jingling.

So much lure of illusion has summoned;
So much sorcery has spread its web!
Rending all obstruction going forward,
'Pon Your path he has walked.
