O dearest one,
in which loving environment of unknown origin,
had I seen You?

I have forgotten the place, time and name.
You alone remain in my mind -
O incomparable one!

In that place, there was no dark fog.
There was no crookedness underlying sweetness.
Nectar kept flowing on, washing Your feet -
O most pious one!

In that country,
there was neither cruelty nor killing.
There was no untouchability, death and hatred.

There, the scattering light of the rising sun
danced fast like a peacock.
