Nupur Baje Nupur Baje
Nupur baje nupur baje
Khudra hiyar ankhi majhe
Kahar nupur kahar nupur
Amar prabhur amar prabhur
Nirabatar madhubane
Atmatyager putagane
Translation
Ankle bells ring, ankle bells ring
Inside the vision-eye of my tiny heart.
Whose ankle bells are these, whose?
My Lord’s, my Beloved Lord’s.
And now my Lord and I
Are in the nectar-forest of silence.
He is teaching me the songs
Of sacred self-giving.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 4, Agni Press, New York, 1981
