Ma, the Sweetest Mother of all mothers
What a folly of my mind
I offer not the flowers of the heart
Unto Thy lovely blessed lotus feet.

Ma, the Sweetest Mother of all mothers
What a folly of my mind
I chant not Thy loveliest Names
That can redeem all from the dismal world.

Ma, the Sweetest Mother of all mothers
What a folly of my mind
I hanker to indulge in all pleasures
Not basking in Thy self-sacrificing presence.

Ma, the Sweetest Mother of all mothers
I offer this tiny prayer at Thy Lotus Feet
To banish all thoughts and desires of the folly mind
Merging in Thy Eternal, Blissful, True, Blessed Self.
