I traveled a thousand miles to search for the one who keeps calling,
Singing a melodious song that made me long for a voice unseen.
Yet she kept calling, despite not knowing my name,
She kept singing — the love song traveled a million miles to lead and guide me.
Yet I lost track of the sound,
I searched through the hills, the mountains, the sea.
Yet I could not find the love my heart longed for, but still I never stopped searching.
Keep moving, keep following the steps which lead to the hill.
Came a sound, traveled through the breeze of air, whistling, a bird shadowing my path, not knowing —
The love I am seeking for sends love through every bit of wind,
Through voices of birds,
Through sounds of trees cracking.
But yet I couldn't listen clearly to the unfamiliar sounds.
Yet I reached the mountains.
I kept climbing,
Bit by bit.
I didn't mind the sweat of each ladder I climbed,
Yet focused only on the hilltop, the greenish grasses, the colorful mountain,
Mounting along with me as I progressed onward. The journey felt narrow, yet I never minded the pain to endure just to reach the hill.
Yes, the final stay got closer, as I climbed up to the final ladder.
Then in a glance, I saw a beautiful damsel, radiation in different colors, where the mixture of her clothes glimpsed my heart.
My heart started beating faster, slower, faster, until I beheld the beauty of her calling.
And yes, she looked at me,
She moved a little bit closer, looked into my eyes and said,
"You're the one whom I'm willing to please and serve, not as a slave, but as a woman you love till eternity."
Yet I kept blinking my eyes, perhaps I am still dreaming, and yet it's reality that made me travel far and lost in thought.
And there we sat on the hilltop, facing one another, smiling and chanting a love language that pleases the heart.
