lyrics

Sorrowless and at journey’s end
For one who all bonds have loosened
Free from all bonds
Passion’s fever is gone

The mindful ones exert themselves
Nowhere do they abide
Like wild swans flying from the lake
They leave every home behind

Like a bird on the wing
You cannot trace their path
Of those who do not cling
And are moderate in every task
Whose skies are the freedom
Of emptiness

Like a bird on the air
You cannot trace their path
Of those who destroyed every fetter
Of those unattached
Whose skies are the freedom
Of emptiness

Those who are calm and clear
And pride abandoned
A steed tamed by charioteer
They even the gods hold dear

They, who like the Earth
Untroubled by quake and thunder
Like a pillar, a crystal lake
They no longer wander

Peaceful mind, deed, and speech
With perfect skillful understanding
One who is thus
Is at utmost peace

Gone beyond views
The Unmade is known
The fetters shattered, kamma severed
Clinging no more

In the wild or the village
Th the valley or the hill
Pleasant is the place
Where the Arahant dwells

In the peaceful quiet forest
Where no one else abides
They who are free from passions
Not seeking pleasure they delight
