Tomar Hasi Dekhte Giye
Tomar hasi dekhte giye pelam ami byetha
Kichhui mago nahi pelam jyoti nirabata
Jogyata nai tai bujhi ma raho dure dure
Tumi bina sabi timir amar manas pure
Translation
I went to see Your Smile,
But I got only sorrow, suffering, blows
from You.
I have got nothing, no light, no silence in me.
It seems I don’t deserve anything.
That is why You are far, very far.
But I wish to tell You that without You
My life is a barren desert;
It is all darkness.
Sri Chinmoy, Garden of love-light, part 1, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
