My mind goes on floating through the moist wind,
absorbed by the fragrance of the campaka (magnolia) flower.
That Unknown Companion
has poured all the sweetness of His heart into it
and keeps on calling me.
Why does He remain in far off places?
Why does He not come near?
Why does not He look towards me?
Why does He continue dancing from afar?
Despite He keeping Himself hidden,
I reach Him by His own song and rhythm.
No, no, He is not far away,
He continues loving me in all circumstances.
He stays close to me in pain and happiness.
His sweet smile secretly remains with me always.
Though unacquainted, He is not unknown,
His divine game (liila'),
I have now well understood.
