    Dukkha, Anicca, Anatta
    The leaves are falling fast,
    The reign of the rose is ended,
    The sky is overcast.
    The whole world is filled with sadness,
    From city and Jungle rise;
    The cry of life’s suffering children
    The daylight slowly dies.

    Our lord looked with love and pity
    Upon every living being,
    From the lowliest child of nature
    To the mightiest crowned king.
    For hatred, delusion, passion
    Still claim and enslave us all,
    And each alike on the wheel of change
    Must suffer, and rise, and fall.

    Dukka, Anicca, Anatta,
    Tho’s every life knows pain;
    He who faithfully walks the Path
    Will not look for help in vain.
    The law of the Tathagatha
    Forever will light the way;
    It is our moon to shine by night,
    Our sun to illume the day.

    In lord Buddha we take our refuge,
    His Law of Good our guide,
    To pilot us as we toss and drift
    On being’s remorseless tide.

    With the Dharma’s light to steer by
    Some day we’ll fear rocks no more,
    But, merit won, each will moor his barge,
    On Nirvana’s changeless shore.
