Chokhe Ashru Mukhe Hasi Bhan
Chokhe ashru mukhe hasi bhan
Tabu chale hetha hasi gan
Byatha jane byatha kare bale
Byathar malya rayechhe je gale
Tabu mukhe kare hasi bhan
Translation
The eyes are flooded with tears
But the heart pretends to be happy.
Suffering wears the garland of suffering.
Suffering knows what suffering is.
Yet the vital smile continues outwardly.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 3, Agni Press, 1981
