As the day breaks into dawn,
I am awakened each morning,
By the gentle rays of the Sun,
Streaming through the curtains,
Into my room!
Is He the ‘wheel of fortune’?
Or the giver of prosperity and growth!
A fatherly figure nurturing the universe,
Or the crowning glory of a monarch!
A king descending down,
On his red chariot of horses!
Or the blessings of our ancestors,
Cascading from the Heavens above!
I rise and take a bow,
To the benevolent stride,
Of this royal stature!
Asking myself, if anything can,
Match this alluring brightness!
Just then, my Son, my little Krishna,
Awakens, opening his eyes gently,
Giving me that most radiant smile,
Like the first rays of sunshine!
