```
Maner bane kathar saneThakbe ami chaina
``````
Inside my mind-forest,With thoughts,
I want not to live. ``````
Hiyar tiyasha mitate chahigoAmar chokher jale
``````
Bhul karego tomai nahiKeno prabhu daki
``````
Bidai dine shanti paboEi barashai asi
```At the end of my journey’s close,
I shall receive peace.With this hope I am alive.
``````
Shuno shuno shuno ogo dhara basiananda tai pete ananda shudhu dite
``````
Hearken, hearken, hearken,O world citizens!
Delight not in receiving,Delight only in self-offering.
``````
Dibanishi ami khuliya rakhiboAmar ashar duar
``````
Day and night I shall keepMy heart-door open.
``````
Jakhan bhabi trutir kathaBarai kare bhoy
``````
I am terribly frightenedWhen I think of my mistakes.
``````
Kemane hasibo bedanai bhara jibane ``````
How can I smileWith a life full of suffering?
``````
After a long timeAspiration-chariot I see
Before me. ``````
Into the world I cameTo play on transformation-flute.
``````
Ananda bitaran sakaler hiya swareE je mor aji pan
``````
Delight distributionAt every heart-door
Is my today’s promise. ``````
Ami toiri aghat diyeKarbe apan daro karo prabhu
``````
I am ready, my Lord.Strike me, strike me.
Striking me, make me Your own. ``````
Ekti eshana hiyar kanna plaban ``````
Mukta hate chira kaler lagiJukta hate habe amai sabar sathe jani
``````
Bhul kareo bandha amiKarbona go hiyar kanna
``````
Akashe urite batase nachite nijere bilate habe ``````
Chetanar jagaran tajeShudhu sakaler prayojan
``````
Consciousness-awakeningIs everybody’s need.
``````
Maraner deshe nahi gele kabhuKemane karibo marane joy
``````
How can I conquer deathIf I do not enter into death-clime?
``````
Kalpana pakhi esecho jakhanJeyona chhariya kadapi
``````
Imagination-bird,Since you have come,
Leave me no more alone. ``````
Kothai thako kothai thako kothai thakoHiya tari hiya nadi hiya majhi
``````
If you do not enter into the hope-land,Everything will be all in vain.
``````
Hiya nil pakhi karuna nayaneDake more aji prashanti nabhe urite
``````
Amar katha balbonaAr amar katha balbona
Ebar ami balbo kebalDharar byethar katha mago
``````
Asha kusum ashaKusum phutecho aj amar
Hiyar ashru nireBahu dibas pare
``````
Hope-flower, hope-flower,You have blossomed today
Inside my heart-tears. ``````
Mulya bihin tripti bihinSakal kichui tomar hasi bina
``````
Meaningless and uselessEverything —
Without Your Smile. ``````
Hai hai hai apare janite chahije kebalNijere janite chahina
``````
Alas, alas, alasI want to know only ‘us’
And not myself. ``````
Kalpana prerana eshanaEso eso niye paramer apar karuna
``````
Imagination, inspiration, aspiration —Come, come!
Bring me Compassion boundlessFrom my Lord Supreme.
``````
I long to quench my heart-thirstWith tears.
``````
O my Lord, why do I not invoke YouEven by mistake?
``````
Bahudin pare aspriha ratheSamukhe amar heri
``````
Rupantarer banshari bajateCharanite mora esechi
``````
Phuler mato puta hate habe amarPrabhur charan dharte
``````
I shall have to be as pure as a flowerTo touch my Lord’s Feet.
```My heart’s tear-flood
Is my only aspiration. ``````
I know, I know,With all I must be united
For Eternity’s freedom. ``````
I shall never stop my heart-cry,Even by mistake.
``````
To fly in the sky,To dance in the air,
I must give myself away. ``````
Prabhu priya hate haleKandte habe hiya gabhire
``````
I must cry for peace in the depths of my heartTo be my Lord’s choice instrument.
``````
Sanjher tara amar lagiTumi ano shanti plaban
``````
O evening star,You bring me peace-flood.
``````
O my heart-boat,O my heart-river,
O my heart-boatman,Where do you live,
Where do you live,Where do you live?
``````
Sakal kichu britha habeAsha deshe nahi gele
``````
With the compassion-eye,My blue soul-bird is calling me
To fly in the sky of peace. ``````
I shall no more tell the world about myself.From now on, I shall speak only
About the sufferings of the worldTo You, Mother.
