Bedanai Bhara Chetana Amar

Bedanai bhara chetana amar
Ghor tamasar asim pathar
Jibaner alo maraner kalo
Tomar charane ebar phuralo
Shanti sagare sudha sandhan
Peyechhe ajike trishita paran

Translation

An infinite expanse of darkness
Covers the life of my consciousness,
Filled with excruciating pangs.
The light of my life, the darkness of my death —
All, all, at Your Feet I have now exhausted.
In the sea of peace, my thirsty heart
Has discovered today Nectar-Delight.

Sri Chinmoy, Garden of love-light, part 1, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
