An focal 'grá'

An focal 'grá'

Tá an focal 'grá' a mhúin an Sadgúrú dom
Tar éis mo chroí a ghlanadh.
Deir Sami, chuir sé gach amhras trí thine i bhfaiteadh na súl,
Tógadh suas mé go dtí go bhfaca mé

An uile ní!

The word 'love'

The word 'love' taught me by my Sadguru
Has cleansed my heart.
Sami says, in a moment He set on fire all doubts,
Hoisted me aloft and I could see

Everything!

Sami (1743- 1850)
