Ê, ka Haku Lani
O, Divine Master,

E hô mai, mai `imi au e ho`onâ mai , akâ e ho`onâ aku,
Grant, that I may not seek to be comforted, but to comfort,

mai `imi e ho`omaopopo `ia mai , akâ e ho`omaopopo aku,
not seek to be understood, but to understand,

mai `imi e aloha mai `ia, akâ e aloha aku.
not seek to be loved, but to love.

 No ka mea
Because

 ma ka ha`awi aku, ha`awi mai mâkou,
it is in giving, that we receive,

ma ka kalana, kalana mai mâkou,
it is in forgiving, that we are forgiven,

a ma ka make, hânau mâkou i ka Ola Mau Loa…
and it is in dying, that we are born to Eternal Life…

~ Kaneka Palani o Akîki
~ St. Francis of Assisi
