Na Jani Ki Mane Kare
Na jani ki mane kare
Mukhe bhasha dile more
Rachi tale kato gan
Kari kato sudha pan
Katobar sanpi pran
Jibaner puta bhore
Translation
I do not know what compels You
To give me speech and voice.
I compose a good many songs about You
And drink nectar-delight.
How many times I have surrendered myself to You
Right from the sacred dawn of my life.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 3, Agni Press, 1981
