Now the time has encroached,
To settle down affairs of the game,
To depart from here.
Time dawdles with a snake
Around His neck, but I have
The desire to start life afresh,
To build hundreds of houses.
Ocean of fire waves in the chest
But the rainy season has overwhelmed
From all sides around;
I remained hesitant silent,
When Love distributed alms bounteously.
Ah! I could not find a single tree,
When my head needed cool shade
In the scorching sun.
