Debar Matan Kichui Karina Dan
Debar matan kichui karini dan
Tabu ja diyechi phiriya diyona prabhu
Phiriya diyona mor hasi bhara mukh
Phiriya diyona mor khaniker sukh
Debar matan kichui karini dan
Dibe kigo kabhu amrita sandhan
Translation
I have not offered to You
Anything of real value.
Yet, Lord Supreme,
I pray to You
Not to return
What I have already
To You offered.
Return me not
My fleeting face of emptiness.
Return me not
Fast-dying joy.
I have not offered to You
Anything of real value.
Nevertheless, will You not
Grant me Nectar-Delight?
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1978
