Hubris

(2598)  Maner majhe madhurii saje

Inside mind, Sweetness Adorned,
Oh Who are You that came this morn?
Even knowing You, recognition does not happen;
At every instant is an epoch's transformation.

As soon as I've imagined I've got understanding,
That knowing Your true nature I've achieved,
In the next instant, a blow is struck;
You've conveyed that I could not fathom.

In the mind, at moment when pride has come,
When hope has stirred of grounds for acquisition,
This house of clay proves totally destructible;
You've made known: in time it will be swallowed up.
