I searched for You
in the world of knowledge,
but attained You,
time and again,
in the light of ideation.

I never searched for You
in the depths of my mind
but instead in the external world.
That is why
You remained out of reach,
in distant realms.

Dewed with sweet affection,
You fill everyone's mind.
By impulsive, sentimental expressions,
emotional outbursts and songs
I recognise You
in tunes and melody.

In a drowsy and dreamy stream,
I had forgotten myself,
being intoxicated with blind attachment.

O one who is ever awake!
Holding me by Your hand,
You showed me the direction of movement,
to move on with head held high.
