May peace radiate in the whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space everywhere. May peace reign all over this earth, in water and in all herbs, trees and creepers. 
May peace flow over the whole universe. May peace be in the Supreme Being Brahman. And may all exist in peace...and peace alone. 
Om peace, peace and peace to us and all beings.

Another beautiful translation by Swami Sivananda is "O Supreme Lord, your celestial regions are full of peace and harmony; peace reigns on your earth and your waters. Your herbs and trees are full of peace. All your forces of nature are full of peace and harmony. There is peace and perfection in your eternal knowledge; everything in the universe is peaceful, and peace pervades everywhere. O Lord, may that peace come to me."
