E Jagate Keu Habena
E jagate keu habena
Jakhan apan
Ashar byetha kena kari
Kebal srijan
Translation
When I know perfectly well
That there can be
Nobody on earth
Whom I can call my own,
Very own,
Why do I then
Create pangs,
Feeding teeming hopes?
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1978
