O Aśvins, ye are riding forth now as the first light breaks in the East! The dawn cometh with you; she rideth in your chariot! The sky turneth golden; the birds begin to sing!

Ye bring with you the gift of a new day! The night hath passed; the darkness hath fled. All things awaken; all things rejoice! The young day stretcheth forth with hope and promise!

O twin horsemen of the dawn! Ye come first before the sun himself! Ye prepare the way for the golden orb! Ye sweep aside all darkness and all coldness!

The maiden sleepeth no more; she riseth from her bed! The servant stirs himself to his labor! The merchant openeth his shop! The farmer goeth forth to his fields! All because of you, O swift ones!

Ye are the heralds of the sun! Ye are the bringers of light! Ye are the awakeners of the world!

Accept our hymn of praise, O Aśvins! Come to us with the dawn! Bring us healing, prosperity, and joy! Grant us all that we ask!
