O Lord, You are a star of the distant sky!
Lord, You are a star of the distant sky.
I do not know You.
I don't know You—
I do not, do not, do not!
Don't, don't, don't.


Come slowly and sit by my side.
Little by little come sit by my side.
Do not hide Yourself from me.
Don't hide Yourself—
Do not, do not, do not!
Don't, don't, don't.


So many sorrows of so many days,
Many pains over many days,
So many ideas stored in my mind,
A heap of things to say—
I will pour out my heart to You.
I would speak them all.
Do not pretend to be deaf.
Don't turn a deaf ear—
Do not, do not, do not!
Don't, don't, don't.


You are the nearest, You are the dearest!
Everyone's nearest and dearest,
You are the one whom all adore most!
The beloved of all—
Do not maintain this bondage of distance.
Everyone want's You close-by.
Do not, do not, do not!
Don't keep Your distance—
Don't, don't, don't.


Whatever learned people may say,
Whatever is said by the learned,
whatever the scriptures may say,
However scripture is interpreted,
I am Yours, and You are mine!
I am Yours, You are mine.
No other idea will I accept.
Any other view I don't acknowledge—
I won't, I won't, I won't!
Don't, don't, don't.

<blockquote>O Paramapuruśa (Supreme Consciousness), at present You are a star of the distant sky. I see You, but I don't know You. Come gradually closer to me, and sit by my side. Don't try to hide from me. I have many things to say to You. So many pains and so many ideas have accumulated in my mind. Let me express them fully; don't pretend to be deaf. Come near to me. I will tell You everything, and my heart will become light. You are the dearest, the most adored, by all. Everyone wants to be near You. Please don't remain far away. Scriptures bear no significance for me. I am not to be guided by the scriptures. I am to be guided and controlled by devotional love. Whatever the scholars or scriptures may say, I know only that You are mine, and I am Yours. Nothing else can I accept.</blockquote>
