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. | |||

| <poem> | |||
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. | |||
