Thou art more kind than mother dear

By Sant Tukaram

Thou art more kind than mother dear,

More soothing than the rays of moon

Thy love an ever flowing tide,

Sinks deeper than a common stream

I know of none that equals Thee -

Thou best of all immortal Gods

I wave my name above Thy head,

And part it at thy holy feet.

Ah! Sweeter than sweetest things,

And mightier than all the elements,

Thou rulest O'er the Universe,

And seest that it goes all right,

In silence do I lay my head

upon thy feet , and pray "Forgive"
