Canada
105. Canada, Canada, pranati janai
Canada, Canada, pranati janai pranati janai
Tomar prasun hriday gabhire mor bon bhai
Subishal abhaya nahi hetha kalarab
Tomar nayane tomar anane ashanti nai
Maha ajanar sudha sangite amare harai
Translation
Canada, Canada, to you I bow and bow.
In the inmost recesses of your flower-pure heart
I discover my Canadian sisters and brothers.
Supremely vast is your body’s existence-life.
In your vision-eye and on your determination-face
Wild unrest fails to breathe.
I lose myself, my very existence,
Inside the great unknown:
Your Immortality’s Nectar-Song.
Sri Chinmoy, My aspiration-heart’s country-life-salutations, Agni Press, 1994
