Now that I'm awake

(2465)  Varsar rate tumi esechile

On a rainy night, You had entered;
Sound asleep, I was senseless.
Stealthily You came in;
I could not know it then.

More quiet than the night You were;
Toward me, eyes open, You had looked.
With light and thunder, sleep You'd shattered;
Myself You made sentient.

Hey dear Guide for whole of life,
Graciously unto light's holy site,
Hold my hand and kindly squire;
Stay with me constantly, every moment.
