O Bird of Light

```

One thought, one tune, one resonance —

Who calls me ever and anon?

I know not where I am;

I know not whither I shall go.

In dark amnesia

Myself I buy, myself I sell.

All I break, again all I build.

All I hope to be mine, mine alone.

Alas, my heart is eclipsed

By dark and wild destruction-night.

O Bird of Light, O Bird of Light,

With your glowing and flowing flames

Do enter into my heart once again.

You are calling me to climb up

And fly into the blue,

But how can I?

My heart is in prison

In the strangled breath of a tiny room.

O Bird of Light, O Bird of Light,

O Bird of Light Supreme,

In me, I pray,

Keep not an iota of gloom.

Ekti katha ekti sur ekyi jhankar

Nam dhare ke dakchhe jena amai barebar

Kothai achhi kothai jabo

Nai jena thikena

Ghumer ghore karchhi shudhu

Ami becha kena

Kata bhangi katai gari

Katai kari asha

Hiya khani dhekechhe mor

Andhar sarbanasha

Alor pakhi, alor pakhi

Abar eso phire

Jyotir dhara banan kare

Namo amar shire

Dak ditechha urdhe jete

Jabo keman kare

Bandhi je mor paran khani

Ekti andhar ghare

Alor pakhi, alor pakhi

Alor pakhi, alo

Prane amar rekhona ar

Ektu andhar kalo
