ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 34

JK/NKK 34
treSi bvachi mo kreSina:vun,
ya:ny tshèyi ta:ny sanda:run dih     |
phraT con da:run tà pa:run,
kar vvapaka:run svay chay kray     ||

Don't subject your body
to hunger and thirst,
care for it
when it is famished.
To hell with your
concentration and
reciting.
Do good to others,
that is the real
(religious) practice.

Note: I have translated this because Jayalal Kaul included it in his watershed collection, but it isn't very well supported textually, and I have some doubts as to its authenticity.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
