From the vast expanse of the sky,
You brought those eyes of yours.
From the depths given by the sea,
You are a pearl discovered.
From the vast expanse of the sky,
You brought those eyes of yours.
From the depths given by the sea,
You are a pearl discovered.
You are the flower-flute played by dark Krishna,
You are the song of Prophet David,
You are Kabir's divine melody,
Music itself is only you, my darling.
You are my Thembavani (unfading garland of song),
You are today, tomorrow, and yesterday.
Even before my eyes could see you,
You are the thief who stole my heart.
My beauty, my dearest life,
The deep darkness of the womb,
You have already seen it,
From now on, you are the glowing lamp.
You are not like anyone else,
Music alone is my reflection.
Never fear anything you see,
Never beg, whatever you ask for.
From the vast expanse of the sky,
You brought those eyes of yours.
From the depths given by the sea,
You are a pearl discovered.
From the vast expanse of the sky,
You brought those eyes of yours.
From the depths given by the sea,
You are a pearl discovered.

Let's fix that. All on a single line! No control tokens ( , ). Let's make sure json string escaping is proper. Double quotes in string values must be escaped if needed, but none of our text has unescaped quotes. Wait,”
