prabhu kab darshan dikhlaoge
prabhu kab tak tumhe pukaru
mai pal pal panth niharu

A tiny boat, we shall fashion,
A tiny boat, our own creation,
And we, its sole steersmen,
We, the sole navigators,
Shall ferry across the sea.
We shall ferry across the sea.
A tiny boat, we shall fashion,
A tiny boat, our own creation.

When your boat is tossed and turned,
By the raging, swirling tide,
When your boat is tossed and turned,
By the raging, swirling tide,
We will not bring you to shore,
We will not bring you to shore.
We'll weep, our hearts aching,
And call to you with love,
Yes, call to you with love.
Hearing your sweet, sweet song,
Hearing your sweet, sweet song,
Then, swiftly, we will come.
Then, swiftly, we will come.

Teach us how to swim,
Teach us how to swim,
But first, a question we implore,
But first, a question we implore, what?
Do not depart in anger,
Do not depart in anger,
For we shall not console you.

Each moment, I watch the path,
Each moment, I watch the path,
Come, companion of my soul's temple,
Come, companion of my soul's temple,
I'll wash your feet with tears.
Each moment, I watch the path,
Each moment, I watch the path,
When will you grant your vision?
Lord, when will you grant your vision?
How long must I call out to you?
Each moment, I watch the path,
Each moment, I watch the path.
