Translation

```

O formless One, alone You were.

Why have You become many?

Why?

What motivated You to grow

Into many forms and shapes?

Why have You created

Murmuring rivers and thick forests

And wild wind?

Why, why?

Why have You created teeming fears,

Ailments countless?

Why, why?

Why does Mother Earth untiringly cry?

Just for a short time

We enter into the world-arena and depart.

We know not why.

But the hope of oneness

Permeates our entire existence-reality. ```
