Translation

There goes my Beloved, my sweet Lord,
the anklets ringing on His Feet.
I hear the music of His Flute
vibrating through the horizons.
If ever my cowherd boy should cast a glance
behind Him, still He only goes forward.
Let my eyes follow the track my
Beloved treads.
In the twilight hour of the day, with a sweet
and serene smile,
Leading the herds of varied light,
My cowherd boy goes.

Barai boka tumi priya barai tumi boka
Kena tumi thakte chaho chirakaloi khoka
Ei abani srijan kare dile kahar hate
Ashru jhare nitya moder agyanatar rate

Translation

You are a great fool indeed, You are
a great fool, O Lord.
Why do You want to remain eternally a babe?
After creating this world, to whom
have You given the responsibility?
Day in and day out we shed bitter
tears in the night of ignorance.

Nil Pakhi Hase Hriday Gabhire

Nil pakhi hase hriday gabhire nil pakhi kare khela

Hriday moder alor kusum amara prabhur asha
Bishwa srashta nahe ar kichhu amader bhalobasa

Translation

In the depth of my heart the blue bird
smiles and the blue bird plays.
The festival of lustre-form and
celestial delight is inviting everyone.
The sun, the moon, the mountains
and the ocean all have come.
Today we shall listen to the call of
Infinity.
We shall run toward Infinity.
Right in front of us is the ladder of Light.
Our hearts have become the flower of
Light Divine.
We are the hope of our Lord Supreme.
The world-creator is none other than our love.

Gabhir byethai kande hiya mor swaruper dekha nai
Subishal ei bhaba parabare ami je bhasiya jai

Translation

How many songs have I sung?
How many more have I still to sing
here on earth?
Within and without I have been
searching for myself through my songs.
With deep pangs my heart cries;
My self-form is not visible yet.
In the vast life-ocean, I am floating all alone.

Tahar kachhe khunjle pabe amar parichoy

Translation

No capacity have I, no merit have I.
Therefore I cry for more, for much
affection, much love from You.
Everyone appreciates and admires
the man of capacity.
Everyone touches the feet of a Yogi.
It is for a man like me who has no capacity
That the Eyes of the Mother are
eternally awake.
All you will know about me; ask Her who I am.
Without Her Affection and Love,
I do not exist.

Translation

Mother, You respond to my song;
Therefore I sing.
Your Affection is boundless, Mother, I know.
Even when I forget You through my sulking,
Your Infinite Compassion and Peace
draw me toward You.
You are my ocean, Mother; I am Your
tiniest drop.
The stars, the moon and the sun —
we are all Your eternal companions
In Your Cosmic Game.

Amai Ami Jante Giye

Translation

I commit constant mistakes while looking for
myself, my true form.
One mistake after another; my entire life
is full of mistakes.
Alas, I do not see the shore, the Golden Shore.
Yet I know when the hour strikes
My Mother will show me my true form.
Alas, why do I bind myself, then, with the
cord of wild restlessness?

Ekti Katha Mane Pare

Ekti katha mane pare ekti shudhu katha

Translation

Only one thought flashes across
my mind, only one thought:
Who has given me such impure power
of talkativeness, this meaningless babble?
Mother, I know my only companion was silence.
Who has taken that silence away from me,
Mother,
And who has taken away the
cheerfulness of my heart?

Bahire Amar Anek Arati

Translation

Many foes have I without;
Within, only Peace.
The outer world has turned me mad.
The inner world has smashed
the mountain of my errors.
The outer world, coming near me,
has opened the door of destruction.
In my inner world, the ever-beautiful,
the Eternal Infinite, is dancing.

Ebar Ami Shanto Habo Man Kananer

Ebar ami shanto habo man kananer majhe
Tomar dekha na pele ma marbo ami laje

Translation

This time I shall be silent.
In the grove of my mind, if I do not
see You, Mother,
I shall die in embarrassed shame.
Above me is the blue welkin,
Below me is the vast earth.
O Remover of sorrows,
Alas, I cannot see You anywhere.

Sima Jadi Hai Asimer Prane (1)

Sima jadi hai asimer prane nahi base kabhu bhalo
Asimer pran kemane nashibe simar manas kalo
Antaratame je dakena kabhu je rahe niyata dure
Jiban je tar habe bilupta mithya dainya pure

Translation

Alas, if the finite never loves the Infinite,
How can the Infinite destroy the
darkness in the mind of the finite?
He who does not invoke the Inner Pilot
and always remains afar,
His life is bound to be lost in the
city of falsehood and destitution.

Translation

It is I who have created myself for my
own satisfaction.
I am the comrade of my soul.
It is I who am enamoured of my life.
My creation binds me at every moment,
Yet the river of my heart sings
the song of liberation.
It is I who implore the nectar of
My Goal at my feet.

Translation

Once more do come and appear before me.
Around me is all darkness and the flow of tears.
Once more do come and appear before me.
This heart of mine is now the garland of surrender.
Once more do come and appear before me.
This restless, wild, indomitable, dark, vital breath
of mine will be silent.
Once more do come and appear before me.
Do give me the right to worship You, You alone.

Ah, there He goes, singing around my heart’s door.
He calls my heart of hope to enter into
His Ocean of Love.

My world will no longer remain in the
prison-cell of attachment and self-delusion.
Ah, there He goes, singing around my heart’s door.

O Yogi of the highest magnitude, now it is my turn.
Now accept the garland of my total surrender.
In the forest of my heart I am lost totally,
But there I see the smile of Your Pole-Star.
Come, come. Without You the vina of my heart
Will never offer its music, I know, I know.
Therefore I draw You into my bosom.
O Yogi of the highest magnitude, now it is my turn.

Translation

O Yogi of the highest magnitude, initiate me.
Today offer me Your initiation.
Today I shall learn the immortal message of
transformation from You.
I shall not wander any more in the farthest
corners of the world.
I shall only dance in the city of the heart.
Inside the city of my heart I shall sing songs
of Love Divine
And I shall see myself in the mirror of my
sanctified heart.
Today I beg of You to offer me only one thing:
silence, silence.
O Yogi of the highest magnitude, initiate me today.

Shall destroy the thunder of death
in the ocean of Infinite Fulfilment.
Death has approached our door today.

You only are in my world.
Make me dear to You and make me Your very own.
Accept me with the boon of magic incantation.

Translation

Yonder whose ankle bells do I hear tinkling?
Who is walking along there?
Whose Divine Arrival?
My mind now remembers my Divine Mother Kali,
And now I have forgotten all my heart’s pangs.
It seems that my Mother is moving around
and calling me by name.
She says: “Come, come, My child, come.”

Translation

Granted, nothing is done,
Nothing special is accomplished by me in this
incarnation.
If I were to become dust and pollen of the earth
for the cows to trample upon,
Would it even then be worth my while to
sorrowfully cry and weep?

The secret thought of each country
and the yearning of each life
Here become one.
On the road of Infinity,
In the embrace of the covenant
of the Light Supreme,
O Boatman of our Heart-Boat,
By loving You, we do all this.

Amar Katha Bhabi Kebal

Translation

I always think about myself;
That is why my heart is full of pangs.

I always think ill of myself.
I am my only enemy.
With sanctified heart, may I always remember You,
my Lord Supreme.

Translation

You will make me closer
And pour all Your inner Wealth into me.
Is that the reason, Mother, why You
have cast me aside, and are ignoring me?
You will shape me with Your own Hand;
That is why right now You are ignoring me so much.

Are always boundless for us.
Alone I shall not go to You, Mother, I shall not go.
With all I shall get You:
This is my life’s only aspiration, only meditation,
only Goal.

into my dark room
And bind me with Your cord of Liberation.

The night of aeons is captured
And its surrender is made in the deepest
depths of my heart,
At the feet of my inner sun.

The Cosmic Game of the Infinite Vast
I wanted to see.
I do not know how I have obtained the Flute
of Light that is transforming my whole life.

be smashed in the forest of my mind.

You are afar, You are near.
Yet I think that You are always far, far away.

all desires conceived and achieved.

Supreme Lord.
Here there is only a chain of falsehood
mountains.
Whatever you want, you shall never get it here.
Let us go, let us go.
