Translation

Oh Parampurusha You came in my heart,
secretly and in privacy
flooding my being with cognition
dancing it in multitudes of colors.

The universe swings (dances) as He makes it swing
The universe forgets itself, as He sways it
Moving forward
like an eternal song in the distant sky.

(None) can forget that swinging (dance)
like a bright lovely wrapper
forgetting all painful pangs
bringing (peaceful) cognition to hearts.
