Ravi Shankar

Pranati janai Ravi Shankar setari keshar
Sangit dhame pratiti hiyai tumi je amar
Nimeshe nimeshe tomar jiban pantha kariya ala
Debalok hate debagan ase tomai parai mala
Taba chira sathi dur amarar saurabh gaurab
Nartane rata bidhatar pada tale taba abayab

Ravi Shankar, to you I offer my soulful obeisance.
You are the Lion-Sitarist.
In the world of hallowed music-pilgrimage,
    Immortal you are in every heart.
From high Heaven the Cosmic Gods descend and garland you.
At every moment they illumine your life-road.
Two sleepless friends you have: Heaven's Fragrance, Heaven's Glory.
Rapt in dance at the Feet of the Absolute Lord Supreme
    Is your outer frame.
