O Lord, I am stained with sin and pride
O Lord, I am stained with sin and pride.
In the company of sinners I practised evil—I did not know the way of devotion.
Night and day I am vexed with longing after vanities: my thirst is never quenched.
Death stands above my head: yet I pay no heed at all: my life slips from me like water in the hollow of the hands.
To those who know naught of Thee, I linked myself by day and night: with the Sadhus I had no fellowship.
Night and day I cannot forego the worldly pleasures, the delights of which ever were on my tongue.
Where is neither illusion, evil desire nor coveting, there O Lord is' Thy Kingdom.
From this heart has been done away, O Sur, the state, that is the source of all gladness.
