The Fire of the World

 

 

I'll surely go mad now.

The fire of the world

burns in my brain--

how long can I bear it?

I lost myself in the pursuit

of women and wealth, O Tara!

I'm possessed

by this wretched burden,

and I die of fatigue

from the toil of carrying it.

 

I take great pains

to fix my mind on you,

but it won't stay.

It's teased by worldly affairs.

O Mother Kali,

your beggar servant

pleads in desperation-

he can turn to no one else

on earth, in heaven, in hell!

At your gracious feet, he begs

that his appeal not be in vain,

the way his life has been
