Jedin tomai dakina ma
Sedin ase shrantiShranti majhe bhese uthe
Agyanatar bhrantiAndhakare chahina ma
Andhar more chaiTahar dake sara diye
Byatha e pran paiAlo diye jiban amar
Puta karo magoSmari jena nitya tomai
Prane amar jago```
```I become tired, Mother,
Only during the days I do not think of You,I do not meditate on You.
In my tiredness the mistakes of ignoranceLoom large.
Mother, I do not want,I do not need darkness,
But darkness wants me and needs me.When I respond to darkness,
Boundless sorrow tortures my heart.Do inundate my heart with light.
Do awaken my heart and make me feelThat You and I are inseparably one.
```From:Sri Chinmoy,Pole-star promise-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1977
