He has awaited me for countless ages.

Yet I did not know the bliss that was

so near to me, for my love was not

yet awake.

But now, my Lover has made known

to me the meaning of the note that

struck my ear:

Now, my good fortune is come.

Kabir says: "Behold! how great is

my good fortune! I have received

the unending caress of my Beloved!"

-- Kabir
