67. Maraner banshi jibane bajate chahi
Maraner banshi jibane bajate chahiHatashai bhara pran
Asha pakhi mriya man
Bineshar gan bhore sandhyai gahi
I want to play the flute of death
In my reality-life.
Day in and day out,
I sing the song of utter destruction-night.
Despondency is another name for my heart.
My hope-bird is almost dead.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 2, Agni Press, New York, 1976
