Thrash the Grain Against the Chaff
O' master of my heart! Pray to thee
Thrash the grain against the chaff
This heart is sterile and barren like a babe
has its partner but without being grave
Let it have union with thee
to create a zygot of virtuosity
When the foetus is ready to move around the womb
don't let it guard on its own
since the soul on its own is in grave danger
may be attacked by the devil stranger
Pray to thee , let the baby come out safe of the narrow passage
And rear it up like a mother and father and then a guide
since roads of life are diverse laned and wide
here the traffickers know no traffic rules
Be the traffic police to guide its way
so never it has any negative sway
O' Master! pray to thee become its nurse
therefore it may cast away the appalling curse
