I have travelled many lands,
I have climbed many mountains,
I have traversed all the roads,
and I believed I looked for You,
but instead,
I ended up almost dead!
Hidden traps appeared
on the surface of my mind.
Looking to the left,
I found pride and lust
feasting on my desires!
Looking to the right,
I found greed and envy,
enchanting my attention!
Indeed, the traps of distractions,
are my only attractions.
Oh, Dear Friend Divine,
when will that day be mine,
when we all join hands
and become ambassadors of the heart?
When will that day be mine,
when I forget ‘me’ and ‘mine’
and simply run to the streets
to sing Thy Holy Names?
Let me walk on any path,
let me speak to anyone,
let me climb any heights,
let me dance and sing at every square,
but never let me not be an ambassador of Your Heart!
Sharing, singing, dancing, feasting–
let me bring all that
to the saddened hearts all around!
Enough of darkness, sorrow, and despair,
it’s time for me to get prepared,
for the glorious and virtuous path,
of forgetting all my troubles,
and being an ambassador to everyone’s heart!
Oh, Dear Friend Divine, please,
let me never waste my time
and simply give me strength
to help everyone transition
into their original position!
This desperate servant of Yours is
signing off his petition!
