If I'd only had a roadmap

(1525)  Tomay pelum anek pare

I'd found You after much adversity,
Having journeyed far and wide,
Having made pilgrimage to many holy sites,
And having welcomed troubles aplenty.

Having ransacked desert sands
And having melted ice-cold poles,
I'd returned, in lack of hope,
To the shrine of my emptiness.

Peering inside the mind, I observe
You are hiding, what surprise,
In a somber heart, giving light
On the lampstand of love.
