Amar Priya Tumi Prabhu

```

Amar priya tumi prabhu

Sabar priya tumi

Tabu kena tomar paye

Nahi mora chumi

Mukhe tomai prabhu daki

Prane bhabi ari

Ghor bipade bhaye mari

Taito tomai smari

Jano moder praner garob

Khama tabu karo

Andhar pathe mrittyu ele

Dharo more dharo

Gabhir snehe dharo moder

Hriday tari khani

Abodh mora tumi je ke

Kabhu nahi jani

```

```

You are dear to me.

You are dear to everybody else, too.

How is it that

We do not worship Your Feet, kiss Your Feet,

Knowing perfectly well

That we call You our Lord Supreme?

This is but our lip service,

But in the depths of our hearts

We do not take You

Even as a real friend of ours.

You know the poison of our mind,

Yet You are forgiveness-sea.

When death wants to capture us,

We stand in between death and our existence;

Therefore,

Ignorant we are.

No matter what You do for us

We offer You not our gratitude-heart. ```
