Bengali song — Shok tap
/Shok tap jetha nai//Setha jete chai/
/Kusumita hridayer/
/Alomoi pakhi/
/Heshechhila e dharani/
/Mor bedanai/
/Prana-shaka dao more/
/Prema sudha rakhi/
My bird of light in the blossomed heart
Wants to go where there is no grief, no bereavement.
The world once mocked at my excruciating pangs.
O Beloved of my heart, grant me the cord of love-nectar.
Sri Chinmoy, AUM — Vol.II-1, No.11, 27 November 1974, Vishma Press, 1974
