On a full moon night
Beautiful and bright,
A charming prince
With fame and fragrance
Renounces this worldly life,
Leaving behind his son and wife,
And embraces poverty,
And embarks on a difficult journey
Into the jungles and mountains,
And suffers agony and pain
To find out joy and ecstasy
Jans sorrow, behold and see !
He suffers hardships of life
With a smile to end his strife
Permanently and control the mind,
And break the chains that bind !
Lo ! divine love springs in his heart
And he plays a noble part,
Loving equally one and all,
The rich and poor, the big and small
The Virtuous and the sinner,
Perceiving God in all; what a wonder !
He becomes nonviolent in thought, word and deed,
And becomes an angel, indeed !
Lo ! the dacoits turn into saints under his influence;
Oh ! What a magic in his non-violence,
Again on a full moon night
He beholds the eternal Light, Making him happy and bright, And ending his fear and fright ! We salute Buddha, the Beloved, Who attracts like a magnet !
