Painful Separation

Hey Arunachala, my Lord Supreme!
Time and again I am pinned and pained,
that I am still far away from Thee, my Lord.

With tearful eyes, I ask Thee now,
Am I not a part of Thee? Am I not, my Lord?

O! Mother of Grace Divine,
How can Thou betray Thy son such?

The senses are eating me, the ego is decomposing me.
Fear of separation from Thee is gripping me, my Lord.

If I can feel this pain of separation,
Don't Thou also feel the same, my Lord?

I know, Thou would act soon, with Thy Grace Supreme!
and save this speck out of the clutches of samsara.

My Lord, give me a place, I beg
Give me a place at Thy Holy Feet.
Give me a place at Thy Holy Feet, my Lord!
