To keep me busy

(169)  Esechile prabhu ghum bhaungate

Master, You had come to shatter sleep,
To take me with You on the path of sensibility.
I have strayed, forgetting Thee;
I could not keep myself busy.

Many days have passed and become evening;
Many nights have gone by, shedding tears.
The path, oh I found it not... I could not proceed;
But now You have arrived to take me with.

All sufferings and all despondency...
The end came, Yourself having come to leave.
