Everywhere veiled
by Your own Face
You are hidden from the world
by Your own Face
You are hidden from the world
In Your very manifestation.
Look where I will
I see your Face alone;
in all those idols
I see only You.
Look where I will
I see your Face alone;
in all those idols
I see only You.
Jealous lest You be recognized
at every instant
You dress your Beauty
in a different cloak.
at every instant
You dress your Beauty
in a different cloak.

Life is a Cosmic Play, the Divine playing hide and seek,
playing us.
playing us.
