What has happened to me?

 

All these songs tell one story:

that of Lalla on a lake, not knowing

what sandbar I'll run aground on.

 

What kind of luck have I had?

 

I made harmony out of a man's clumsy

plastering job on the ceiling.

 

Still I wonder which

sandbank will strand me.

 

And how is it now with me?

 

Magnificent, this becoming

more and more awake.

14th Century North Indian mystic
