Garden of love-light, part 1

```

Hari jadi ma tor kachhe seito amar joy

Tor hate ma ja diyechhi ta shudhu sanchoy

Ar baki sab mulya bihin kebal apabyoy

Piradayi pather bojha kajer kichhui noy

Atmagyaner pare amar tor kachhe ma har

Hale jani pabo ami shreshtha puraskar

```

Translation

```

Mother, if I lose to You,

That is my only victory.

Whatever I have given into Your Hands,

Is my only savings.

To me, the rest is of no value, a mere waste,

And it only tortures me and stands as

a burden on my way.

I cannot put it to use.

When I lose to You,

After I have achieved my full realisation,

I know, my greatest reward I shall receive. ```
