Sakali tomár icchá,
Iccámayii tárá tumi,
Tomár karma tumi karo Má,
Loke bole kari ámi.
Paunke baddha karo karii
Paungure laungháo giri.
Káre dáo má Brahmapada
Káre karo adhogámii.
Ámi yantra tumi yantrii
Ámi ghar tumi gharańii
Ámi ratha tumi rathii má
Jemon cáláo temni cali.

Everything is your wish,
All wishes originate from you,
You do all action,
But people say, ‘I do.’
“You get elephants caught in mud
While enabling the lame to cross the mountain.
To some you give mokśa,
While you make others depraved.
“I am the machine,
You are the mechanic,
I am the house, You are the dweller,
I am the chariot, You are the charioteer,
And I move as You wish.
</poem>
