A translated version of the poem is given below:-

You are not this day

Strange not quite new

You are as old as

The earth is

You are occupying your desirable

Since then in the presence of sun and moon

Same flower and fruit of a tree

Don�t make mistake of the two branches

Some strength is in the lady

You posses a kind hearted heart

Your sacrifice is much more important than that.

Another Stanza �

You are invisible

Prayed by the people of the whole world

You are mother, maid and hostess

Weaver and server you are omnipotent

You are earth

You are the creator of all

You are invisible and mysterious
