I started listening to this song for Bombay Jayashri mam's voice.
Was not having any idea of the meaning but still her voice was enough to connect my soul with this song. Was searching the English translation of one of her other songs but luckily I ended up listening to this fascinating work/translation.

Many thanks 🙏🙏❤
