Disperse it, dearest, to the corners of this earth.

Carry it to the woodlands, carry it across the horizons

Carry it across the seas to the land farthest east.

As you drift over hills and dales, carry the melodies of birds

Junthi's soft aspiration, malati's mild fragrance

And with all your treasures, do carry, beloved, my spirit.

Encircling this earth, make numberless heady rounds

Carrying the intoxication of your spirit everywhere.

Such life have I, even as I give away my treasures

It is as though my treasure chest is brimming over still.

O drifting downy cloud, come hither down to earth

Come gather me and carry me to the unbounded skies

Unfurling sails of gold, to ride free upon waves of air

My desire has run towards crossing the ocean of the sky.

O sky, come, come to me, call me brother, again-

It is to your bosom I have traveled, look, I am no longer here.
