You,

let me see everything very beautifully through the eyes,
I never wait a second to believe you.
let me hear everything very sweetly through the ears,
I never wait a second to believe you.
let me smell everything very nicely through the nose,
I never wait a second to believe you.
let me taste everything very deliciously through the tongue,
I never wait a second to believe you.
let me feel everything very gently through the body,
I never wait a second to believe you.
let me think everything very happily through the mind,
I never wait a second to believe you.

I never thought even in a dream that
you have taken me a long journey through darkness
for countless eons, giving me unbearable pains.
If I haven’t met the Fortunate One,
you could have mislead me again and again.
The Fortunate One showed the straightway,
the Noble Eightfold Path like an arrow.
So, don’t come after me anymore,
now I am blessed with
Noble Triple Gems.
IGNORANCE…, you and I depart from here onwards,
we will not be meeting again!
