"O Haste and Come"

by Namdev 14th century

Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)

Religion

Dost thou behold me perishing?

O haste and come, my God and king.

I die unless thou succour bring,
O haste and come, my God and king.

To help me is a trifling thing;
Yet thou must haste, my God and king.

O come (how Nama's clamours ring)
O haste and come, my God and king.
