118. Jayto chahini cheyechi shikhite
Jayto chahini cheyechi shikhiteKi bhabe asibe joy
Janite parile tar sathe pathe
Kare neba parichoi
Sakal joyer shreshtha bijoy
Prabhu taba hathe parajoy
I have not longed for victory.
I simply wanted to learn
How I can achieve success.
Had I known the way,
I would have definitely been familiar with it.
I know the greatest of all victories
Is my defeat at the Hands of my Beloved Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 3, Agni Press, New York, 1976
