Asha Diye Tumi Kena Dure Chale Jao

Asha diye tumi kena dure chale jao
Ei pralobhane ananda bhuji pao

Translation

O my sweet Lord,
You feed me with ceaseless hopes.
Yet why do You run away
Far, very far, from me?
Do You really get joy
From this Temptation-Play of Yours?

Sri Chinmoy, Journey's ecstasy, Agni Press, New York, 1984
