Swarup Janite Esechi E Bhabe
Swarup janite esechi e bhabeNa janile nija rup
Hata shai bhara bhagna parane
Rahibo satata chup
Durbal prane nahi raje kabhu
Ananda bichi mala
Dekha dao more ogo aparup
Hriday kariya ala
I have come into the world
To discover my self-form.
If I do not discover my self-form,
I shall remain in silence with frustration-night.
In a weak heart the waves of delight can never abide.
I am, alas, that weak heart.
O Beauty Transcendental, do illumine my heart
And appear before me.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 2, Agni Press, 1977
