When did I say, I am not fallible
But you bestowed honoursÂ
And bound me by the vowsÂ
That I could not keepÂ
I am as devoted to you today asÂ
I ever was, O KaliÂ
I still do not knowÂ
Why I can not erase the marks of kindnessÂ
Of those who nurtured me soÂ
That your anger can devour meÂ
As if fattening a goat before sacrificeÂ
