Charidike Moher Abaran

Charidike moher abaran
Taito kande hiya anukkhan
Ghure berai shaman bhiti
Nahi shuni ashar giti

Translation

Attachment-cover all around;
Therefore, sleeplessly my heart weeps.
The fear of death all around moves.
I hear not the song of hope.

Sri Chinmoy, Journey's Goal, part 12a, Agni Press, New York, 1981
