After a long time
and much wandering about,
I have today recognised You.

You are the cool shade amidst intense heat
I never knew this fact.

In stormy nights,
when fire threatens,
You accompany us.

During heavy rains,
floods and lightning,
You bestow blessings
with soft hands
and leave a mark on our heads.

On the path of movement,
I have no other means to adopt
except holding on to Your name.
You are the polestar
in intensely dark nights.

Taking Your name, I lose myself.
You are the soothing balm for all my wounds.
In honour, I salute You
both physically and mentally.
