I looked for You here
I looked for You there
I searched for You keenly
With no place left unexplored.
Thinking You may be there
I peeped into the vast sky
Not finding any trace of You
I dived into the deep ocean.
Maybe You are in the darkness
I lit up a bright lamp to find You
Hoping You are the lightning
I went up the hill to watch You.
At the end of this interesting game
I eagerly expected You'll show up
As I prayed You with deep affection
I felt Your movement in my heart.

I would like to translate this poem
Yes, when the One you are searching far and wide Is just so close, by your very side, such a lovely prayer can happen.
And to add, I recall what think was a St Kabeer bhajan, ... O ko kahaan dhunde bande, vo to hai tere paas....
