Through the ancient silence
Shiva dances in Eternity;
Dances on the rim of Heaven,
Dreaming light from shadow ......
Scatters in the darkness
Footprints of a crescent Dawn;
In a silver galaxy
Planet Earth is born.
- - -Om Hari Shanti, Om Hari Shanti;
- - -Hari Om, Hari Shanti.
*
Dreaming Time from darkness -
Yesterday, Tomorrow!
Dreaming of the lives of men ....
Never dreams of sorrow.
Though the stars are silent
Shiva hears them through Eternity:
Hears the blue Earth sadly singing
In her chains of sorrow.
- - -Om Hari Shanti, Om Hari Shanti;
- - -Hari Om, Hari Shanti.
*
In the baleful darkness
Time is but an arrow
Piercing all the hearts of men,
Killing Joy with Sorrow.
In the ancient silence
Shiva weeps for all eternity;
Weeps beyond the rim of Heaven
With the Light and Shadow.
- - -Om Hari Shanti, Om Hari Shanti;
- - -Hari Om, Hari Shanti.
