ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 7

JK/NKK 7
atsha:n a:y tà gatshun gatshe,
pakun gatshe dèn kyôh ra:th |
yoray a:y tu:ry gatshun gatshe,
kenh natà kenh natà kenh natà kya:h ||

Wearily we come and go,
traveling day and night.
From where we have come,
there we must go.
Nothing, nothing, nothing--
or What?

Note: Lalla is here hinting that the seemingly endless round of birth and death, apparently leading to nothing, might potentially have another outcome. That other outcome would be realization of the Self.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
