Know your vices, sins

Which have crucified Pure Self -

Resurrect and rise!

For spiritual renaissance -

No more betrayals!

They delude, create erring we -

Renounce all externals!

Non-realising soulfulness

That's original sin!

Mercy-n-forgiveness -

True ways to undo evil,

Live righteously.

With compassion and courage

Harbour no ill will

Be calm and solemn

Observe fast and reflect on
