Burn to ashes in the fire of sadhana, all our desires
Mold the golden duty and its metal stronger as you respire
Discard the garbs of selfishness in the holy fire before you expire
Raze to the ground, the sins of your past deeds or else they will conspire
Freeze all the wrong thought that intrude your mind to conspire
And in our one way to the goal, do not ever you retire
Free yourself from petty thoughts and insensible desires
Only one thought, one love, one desire, to meet the lord entire
Smear your body with the ashes of your painless journey to the sire
And sleep you shall fitfully in the joy of the lord as you retire.
