Amader Ei Deha Pran Man
Amader ei deha pran man
Sukh dukh ar jiban maran
E je bidhatar patul khela
Shudhu gara ar churiya phela
Shudhu dudiner khela
Dekhite dekhite phurabe bela
Tabu eta ayojan
Ki ta ache prayojan
Translation
Our body, vital and mind,
life and death,
Are nothing but a grand display
of children’s toys.
This moment enjoy them,
Next moment cast them aside.
Every one has a fleeting breath.
Why then such a huge preparation?
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1978
