A SONG OF DEVOTION. Shake, Shake off Delusion! Wake, Wake up! Be Free!
Fade, fade, each earthly joy :
Mahavira is mine!. Break all useless ties :
Mahavira is mine! Dark is the wilderness,
Earth’has no resting-place? Mahavira alone can bless, Mahavira is mine!
2. Tempt not my soul away; . Mahavira is mine ! Here would I ever stay ;
Mahavira is mine ! Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away! Mahavira is mine !
3Farewell, Ye dreams of Night'
Mahavira is mine! Lost in this dawning 'Light'
Mahavira is mine! All that my soul has tried Left but a dismal void ; Mahavira has satisfied ;
Mahavira is mine ! Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
