O merciful Lord,
I was in darkness but entered the realm of light,
by You making me fearless.

So much time had passed in dense darkness!
So many nights had passed in tears!
The scorpion’s burning sting,
those series of insults,
You removed it all,
O embodiment of sweetness.

I thought I would never be able
to struggle with internal and external enemies.
Providing mental strength
and provisions for the path,
You came,
O embodiment of mind.
