You opened my eye of wisdom,
oh Lord Shivalingam!
You made my heart understand you,
did my darkness truly turn into truth?
You opened my eye of wisdom,
oh Lord Shivalingam!
You made my heart understand you,
did my darkness truly turn into truth?
I knew neither earth nor sky,
and half my life slipped away.
Even though you filled the whole world,
I wandered around claiming you did not exist.
Smear the sacred ash on my body,
show your mercy and apply it.
Make me your sacred bull Nandi,
and tie me at your doorway.
Is this the merit of seven lifetimes?
Please accept me, my Lord!
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shambho Shiva Shankara,
Haro Hara Hara Hara,
oh blue-throated Lord!
As the Swarnamukhi river overflows
and rushes over the rocks,
I saw a vision of you as the Lingam
right before my eyes.
The horns of beasts in the forest
look just like Shiva's trident.
The streaks of white clouds
are like your sacred ash.
Everywhere I look, I see only Shiva,
I have found a brand new experience.
The sacred sound of Om
spreads through the mountain forest.
Inside my parched heart,
a fresh spring has gushed forth.
I folded my hands in prayer,
I sought your grace.
The holy name Shiva Shiva
has become bound deep within me.
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shambho Shiva Shankara,
Haro Hara Hara Hara,
oh blue-throated Lord!
Oh, shall I mix water from the sweet stream
and apply sacred ash on you?
Shall I gather wild jasmine flowers
and adorn you?
You are the darling child of my home,
at all times, I hear only your laughter.
Shall I offer you wild deer meat,
oh Lord Shiva?
Shall I bring mountain honey and make a feast for you?
Shall I cradle you, sing you lullabies,
and raise you as my own?
Can your tender body endure
this scorching sun?
If the chilly wind blows,
who will take care of you?
From now on, as your umbrella,
as your protective shade,
I will stand and watch over you.
Do you never have any time
to look at me?
If you just appear before my eyes,
what will you lose, my Lord?
Is it fair to make me wait like this?
Is this an injustice done to me?
Whatever happened is all in the past,
all my sins have come to an end.
Oh Lord Shiva, in your matted hair,
I have gotten tangled!
Even if you despise me and push me away,
even if you chase me far off,
even if you pierce me with your trident,
even if a snake comes and bites me,
he will never move away—
this Thinnan will never budge, my Lord!
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shambho Shiva Shankara,
Haro Hara Hara Hara,
oh blue-throated Lord!
Hara Hara Hara Harane,
oh Shiva,
Hara Hara Shankara,
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shankara Shankara,
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Hara Hara Shankara,
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shankara Shankara,
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Hara Hara Shankara,
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shankara Shankara,
Shiva Shiva Shankara,
Shankaraaa, Shiva Shankaraaa,
Shivaaa, Shivaaa!
