Bhíos óg go maith nuair a léas Allama Prabhu agus na naomhfhilí eile a bhláthaigh lena linn sa 12ú haois. Is iomaí rud atá léite agus dearmadta ó shin agam ach Shri Allama Prabhu – beidh do dhánta im chroí go deo!
Ba léir
le Allama Prabhu
Ba léir dom an chumhracht ag teitheadh
nuair a nocht an bheach
iontas na n-iontas!
Ba léir dom an intleacht ag teitheadh
nuair a nocht an croí.
Ba léir dom an teampall ag teitheadh
nuair a nocht Dia.
Ainneoin a gcuardaigh
le Allama Prabhu
Ainneoin a gcuardaigh
ní fheiceann siad an íomhá
sa scáthán
Sna ciorcail idir na braoithe
a scalann sí.
Más eol duit sin
is agat atá an Tiarna
For all their search
by Allama Prabhu

For all their search
they cannot see
the image in the mirror.
It blazes in the circles
between the eyebrows.
Who knows this
has the Lord.
