O Lord,
single-mindedly,
on the monochord,
playing a single melody,
I call You.

Neither accumulation of virtues,
nor skill of realisation did I possess.
Passing time absorbed in lethargy,
I remembered the pleasant memoirs of the past.

Whatever I received, I put to use,
and threaded the garland of love.
I did not ask for protection during distress
and never wanted any boon.

My only request to You is that You may put me to work,
thereby removing all my ego and agony.
