Chile
115. Chile... chaityer shoirjyer jhilimili
Chile, Chile, Chile, Chile, Chile, Chile!
Chaityer shoirjyer jhilimili
Ekadhare pramoder paribar
Durgati krandan durbar
Prachiner ankhi nabiner rakhi
Joy hok joy hok hok joy
Swadhinata antar nirbhoy
Translation
Chile, Chile, Chile, Chile!
In you, I see the splendour-jubilee
Of consciousness-flooded power-life.
You are at once a oneness-family
Of stupendous mirth and untold misfortune,
Streaming tears and excruciating pangs.
You embody the seer-vision of the hoary past
And the measureless fulness-love
Of tomorrow's dawn.
Victory — your victory we solemnly proclaim
In your indomitable independence-light
Of success-progress-life.
Sri Chinmoy, My aspiration-heart’s country-life-salutations, Agni Press, 1994
