The Stars, the splendid ones, together—heaven’s shining lights—gliding, swift within the world: seeking succour and good favour, with hymns I worship Heaven through the days.
तारे, चमकदार, आसमान के रोशन चेहरे। वो दुनिया में तेज़ी से हिलते रहते हैं। मैं मदद और अच्छा आशीर्वाद माँग रहा हूँ। दिन भर गाते हुए मैं आसमान की पूजा करता हूँ।
