Andhiyar Charidike Andhiyar
Andhiyar charidike andhiyar
Nahi heri hasi pran sushamar
Abasad hiya bane abasad
Madhu khama nahi shudhu aparadh
Ami ar byatha pran dui bhai
Swarge martye amader nahi thai
Translation
Darkness all around, darkness.
I see not the life of beauty anywhere.
A heart of frustration-night tortures me.
Sweet forgiveness nowhere exists.
I see only a mountain of mistakes
And a sea of punishment.
A heart of sorrow and I are two brothers.
Neither Heaven nor earth
Cares to grant us a little shelter.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 4, Agni Press, New York, 1981
