Andhiyar charidike andhiyarNahi heri hasi pran sushamar
Abasad hiya hane abasad
Madhu khama nahi shudhu aparadh
Ami ar byatha pran duibhai
Swarge martye amader nahi thai
Darkness all around, darkness.
I see not the life of beauty anywhere.
A heart of frustration night tortures me.
Sweet forgiveness nowhere exists.
I see only a mountain of mistakes
And a sea of punishment.
A heart of sorrow and I are two brothers.
Neither the heaven nor the earth cares to grant us
A little shelter.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 4, Agni Press, New York, 1976
