Cheyechhilam Kabi Hate

```

Cheyechhilam kabi hate

Karle amai rishi kabi

Cheyechhilam jogi hate

Karle amai abatar

Cheyechhilam bhera hate

Karle amai singharaj

Cheyechhilam pada dhuli

Dile amai tomar mala

Tomar mukut tomar singhasan

```

Translation

```

I wanted to become just a poet,

But You have made me a Seer-Poet.

I wanted to become a Yogi,

But You have made me an Avatar.

I wanted to become Your lamb,

But You have made me Your lion-king.

I desired the dust of Your Feet,

But You gave me Your Victory-Garland,

Your Crown and Your Throne. ```
