Poetry

O Herald of the New (Hey nutan)

O herald of the new,

Let the auspicious hour of birth come around once again.

Reveal yourself from the midst of a mist-filled sky

Like the sun.

Burst through the heart of the void and unveil yourself.

Let life be revealed as triumphant

Let the infinite's endless marvels be revealed in you.

The conch sounds in the east;

My mind responds to the call for renewal

Sent out this day every year

On the twenty-fifth of Baisakh.
