ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 33

JK/NKK 33
yèvà tà:r tsali tim ambar hèta:,
kSôd yèvà gali tim a:ha:r ann     |
tsèta: sva-para vètsa:ras pèta:,
tsèta: dihas va:n kya: van     ||

Wear only such clothing
as keeps away the cold,
eat only such food
as makes hunger disappear.
O mind, contemplate upon
the Self and the Supreme,
and give this counsel
to the body.

Note: There are several variants for the last two lines. I have chosen what is supported by the oldest texts and seems most likely to me.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
