From Your eyes,
	The current of light
	Smoothes the ruffles of suffering.

One merciful look
	Melts the glaciers in the heart.

The crystalline radiance
	Purifies the muddy brain.

Dazzling as lightning,
	It illuminates the deadliest corners,
And fast as a saber,
	Shatters diehard rot ages old.

By Your divine gaze,
	The most poor now
	Own the whole world.

When you gaze at me, oh!
	Time exists no more!
	Into nirvana I zoom,
	Immersed in extreme ecstasy
	    that the universe cannot contain!
