-You came without notice—
+Who are You Who came, came undemanded?
-To break our deep sleep, You gave a clarion call.
+Rousing from deep slumber, issued was the summons...
+Issued was the summons, issued was the summons.
-Gliding on wayward winds,
+Moving gracefully on restless winds,
-You sang the song of total attainment.
+Sung was the song of complete attainment...
+The song was sung, issued was the summons.
-In the sky is the sun; underfoot is the earth;
+In the sky is the sun, underfoot the Earth;
-Sounding are the horns; bustling are the roads.
+The trumpets have resounded, noisy are the streets.
-We were asleep, losing urgent time—
+Staying asleep and wasting time in weeping–
-You shook off our negligent lethargy.
+The lethargy has been forgotten...
+It has been forgotten, issued was the summons.
-Toward the stream of effulgence,
+Toward yonder stream of splendor–
-In rhythm, you danced and sang,
+With rhythm, song, and dance–
-You ascended the path of progress.
+The path of progress was steered...
+The path was steered, issued was the summons.
