Alor Pane Chai Jabe

```

Alor pane chai jabe

Andhar kena dake

Sneha tomar niye jai ma

Na jani kon phanke

Andhar amai dake kena

Mago ami jani

Nithur haye tomar prane

Nitya jabe hani

Tomar paye rakhi aji

Kritagyata phul

Asim ami habo jani

Tumi je mor phul

```

```

I cry for light.

How is it that darkness calls me?

I don’t know.

I cry for one thing;

How is it that I get something else?

Mother, I cry for You

But darkness carries me away.

And when I become angry with You,

I strike You.

You remain silent.

But today I am offering You

My heart’s gratitude-flower.

O Infinite Reality,

I will grow into the sacred flower

To worship You.

```
