ಕ್ಷಣವದೊಂದೆ ಅನಂತಕಾಲ ತಾನಾಗುವುದು |
ಅನುಭವಕೆ ಸತ್ತ್ವ ಶಿವ ಸುಂದರಗಳಮರೆ ||
ಮನ ತುಂಬುಶಶಿಯಾಗಿ, ನೆನಪಮೃತವಾಗುವುದು |
ಕ್ಷಣದೊಳಕ್ಷಯ ಕಾಣೊ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

kshaNavadonde anantakaala taanaaguvudu |
anubhavake satva shiva sundaragaLamare ||
mana tumbushashiyaagi, nenapamrutavaaguvudu |
kshaNadoLakshaya kaaNo - mankutimma ||

A moment alone, in its own right, shall be eternity when
Experience blends with essence, absolute and beauty.
Moon filled in the heart and memory filled with nectar,
See infinity in a moment - Mankutimma

Translator's note: 
Reminds me of this verse from Walter Butler Yeats' "Auguries of Innocence" - 

To see a World in a Grain of Sand 

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, 

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 

 And Eternity in an hour.
