मुँ त अमृत सागर- बिन्दु,
नभे उठिथिलि तेजि सिन्धु ।
खसि मिशिछि अमृत धारे,
गति करुछि से अकूपारे ।
पथे शुखिगले पाप- तापरे,
होइ शिशिर खसिबि ता परे ।
अमृतमय अमृत रय
सहित मिशिबि सागरे ॥

Verily I’m a drop
of the ocean of nectar.
Shunning the ocean I had risen up
in the firmament afar.
Coming down now
I’ve joined the ambrosial flow
and towards the ocean
ahead I’m in motion.
If I evaporate therein
on the way by the heat of sin,
in the form of dew later on
I’ll descend below.
With the nectarean immortal flow,
I’ll mingle in the ocean.

मैं तो बिन्दु हूँ
अमृत-समुन्दर का,
छोड़ समुन्दर अम्बर में
ऊपर चला गया था ।
अब नीचे उतर
मिला हूँ अमृत- धारा से ;
चल रहा हूँ आगे
समुन्दर की ओर ।
पाप-ताप से राह में
सूख जाऊँगा अगर,
तब झरूँगा मैं ओस बनकर ।
अमृतमय अमृत-धारा के संग
समा जाऊँगा समुन्दर में ॥
