Song — Ekla ami tomar kachhe

Alone I shall not go to You, Mother,
I shall not go.
Alone I shall not bind You,
I shall not bind You.
Your Heart’s silence-language and the illumined hope of this world and Your Heart’s nectar-flow
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.

[Bengali Transliteration]

Ekla ami tomar kachhe
Jabona ma jabona
Ekla ami tomai kabhu bandhbona ma bandhbona
Tomar hiyar mauna bhasha
Ei dharanir dipta asha
Tomar praner premer dhara
Moder lagi bandhan hara
Ekla ami tomar kachhe
Jabona ma jabona
Sabar sathe tomai pabo
Ei shudhu mor sadhana
