Morning's mellow light like a rainbow disperses my life

It is with my life I shall enliven the lives of all.

Arise- O morning sun, awaken me as you commence your trek

Launch your luminous boat from the eastern shore

Is it the great ocean of the sky you wish to traverse, dear?

Then, pray take me along, pray take me along.

The world enters my being as my being enters the world

What song, this, the twain sing as they mix and mingle!

Who might you be- learned sage or mighty monarch

Hold for this day your laughter of vaunted derision.

Behold for a moment or two this soaring face of mine

Witness how it has risen to the midst of the clouds.

At daybreak, Dawn arrives and softly sits by my bedside

With golden arms she places a crown upon my head.

Removing the garland of dazzling rays from his neck

Ravi-Deva lovingly places it around mine.
