-Do not go, O Lord, do not go!
+Don't leave, don't leave, my Lord
-For You, day and night, I stay awake.
+For You I stay awake at night.
-Because You exist, the world exists.
+You exist, so earth's denizens exist.
-With You, all beings are in love.
+All of us love You.
-This light, this shade, this wind,
+The light, the shadows, the wind,
-this blue sky adorned with the spangles of stars
+The spangles on blue, composing yonder sky—
-are all dancing in Your melodious rhythm.
+To Your notes and Your beat, all are dancing.
-For, it is Your love that all are seeking.
+For Your love and Your affection, everyone prays.
-Don't forget me, don't forget me! O divine friend!
+Don't neglect, don't neglect, my Lord
-With a sweet smile You come near
+Come close, smiling Your sweet smile.
-and, with a sweet smile, You again depart.
-This laughter, this song,
+The laughter, the music, the luster,
-this radiant light and the higher realms
+The sweet conceptions filling the heaven—
-are all mingled in Your ideation.
+With Your name, they all get obsessed.
-In Your name, all dance in joyous intoxication.
+In Your company, inner heart is expressed.
-To You, all express their innermost heart.
+Don't discard, don't discard, my Lord
-Do not tear, do not tear, O divine friend
+My garland infused with devotion.
-these flowers, vibrant with the touch of life.
