Ami Kandi Tomar Lagi Tumi Ki Hai Kando
Ami kandi tomar lagi tumi ki hai kando
Bhakti dore tomai bandhi tumi ki hai bandho
Habo phankir sakal kichhu sanpi tomar kare
Keno mago tomar kripa amai nahi dhare
Translation
I always cry for You. Do You ever, alas,
Cry for me?
I bind You always with my devotion-cord.
Do You ever bind me?
I am ready to become a beggar destitute,
By offering to You all that I have and all that I am.
Tell me, Mother, why Your Compassion-Sea
Fails to embrace me?
Sri Chinmoy, Garden of love-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1975
