Oh Krishna they say I am
Your favourite but I'm not apart from You,
Like this dancing flame
we have merged and never two,
As You hold my hand leading me
in the Saptapadi every single dawn,
I swing with Your Time to
Your lilting song as I myself adorn,
Ever pure, ever rejuvenated for
You are my Sun and star in my eyes,
And around You I shall revolve dazzling
in Your endless skies.
