The counterpart of the Year, thee, Night, we reverently attend: do thou for us bring forth life-laden offspring, with wealth’s increase and thriving joined thereto.
हे रात, तुम साल जैसी हो, हम तुम्हारे सामने सर झुकाते हैं। तुम हमारे लिए ऐसी औलाद लाओ जो लंबी उम्र जियें। उनके साथ धन भी आए और तरक्की भी हो।
