Rakhal Raja Rakhal Raja

Rakhal raja rakhal raja barek dekha dao
Jiban maran alik swapan ebar niye jao
Rakhal raja rakhal raja barek dekha dao
Tomar benu alor bane sangopane baje
Tomar dhenu nirabatar asim kole raje

Translation

O King of the cowherds,
O King of the cowherds,
Just once before me appear.
My life is a false dream,
My death is a false dream.
Do take them away.
O King of the cowherds,
O King of the cowherds,
Just once before me appear.
In the forest of my inner light,
In the silent depths of my heart,
I hear the soul-stirring music of Your Flute.
I see Your divine cow grazing in the lap of Infinity’s Silence.

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