Oh Life…My Lord…

Re Atman, nidra pari hari;
Oh my soul, waking up from slumber;
Fedi chintara lochan kara kara nirikhyan,
Looking into your visual imagination,
just keep watching;
nisabde jivan srota dhaunchi kipari;
how solitarily the course of life passing away;
vetibaku mrutyusindhu karala lahari;
to meet the deadly tides of the death sea;
Re Atman, Oh my soul wake up from slumber;
Ki begare jau achhi chali,
how swifly the pulse of life rushing away,
veti baku mrutyu sindhu karala lahari
to meet the deadly tides in its quest for death;
sei srota sange misi, jivanar sabu rasi;
melting into those currents of the tides; all the moments of life
how swiftly passing away, to meet the ocean of oblivion;
to attain the bliss of salvation;
melt into sublimity to attain sublime hood.
[This is a famous oriya devotional song written by a famous oriya poet of yesteryears, Sri Madhusudan Rao translated by me for my blogging friends for their appetite.]
