Enter, so that I may cast off the garment of my body this very hour

Enter, so that I may settle the account of the house of existence this very hour

Call out to the pure of heart, abandon playing in the dust

For I have but one life, and I wish to gamble it away this very hour

String the bow, O God, not with the arrow of 'two bow-lengths'

For the time has come for me to make my soul a shield this very hour

As this fire rises, cries of lamentation rise from the world

Grant me safety, grant me safety, that I may melt away this very hour

The world tears apart from fear, and the soul leaps from love

That I may make the birds envious of my flight this very hour
