Eyes on the prize

(2482)  Jatai balo bhulte tomay

However much You tell to forget Yourself,
Lord, I will not ignore.
Ringed by maya and enchanted,
I won't waver by attraction.

What is there today does not remain on the morrow;
What is sweet today, tomorrow it is sorrow.
What at present drives me crazy,
Later I don't gaze in that direction.

I know that always changing is this mundane realm;
It is neither falsehood nor the essence.
Close naught does stay due to motional propensity;
I won't forsake the Everlasting One.
