Bhalobase mor murkha manas basanar karagar
Taito bhitare taito bahire heri shudhu andhiyar ```Chahi jakhan sabar prane tushite
Nache amar hiya pakhi kushite ```Amare danite esechi dharai nishite dibase
E madhur karibo prachar ashesh harashe ```Shanti lagi kandbo ami
Shanti lagi kandboPhulla chitte amire mor
Tomar paye bandhbo ```Nabinata dyuloke nabinata bhuloke
Nabinata bhitare nabinata bahireEso eso eso ogo sathe niye nirabata
Paramer dite chahi bijoyer saphalata ```Ajanar deshe ghuriya berai
Ajana deber sandhaneEkada heribo priyatame mor
Aji sugabhir dhyane ```Jani jani agyanata jai na chere jete
Bidurite taito kandi prabhur kripa pete ```Jene shune amod kare bhul karechi bhul
Taito prabhu nahi heri kothao kona kul ```Baddha guhai rakhibo
Ajike bahu puratan jibaneAmare phutabo amare tulibo
Chira nabiner swapane ```Maner bane ghure berai
Dibanishi chinta kanta maneTaito more herina hai
Amar hiyar asimatar dhane ```Jago jago jago prabhu jago jago aji
Pujbo tomai bhakti bhare diye phula saji ```Pracharite tomar bani
Karbo puta hiya khani ```My Supreme Lord, to spread Your Message-Light
All around the globe, my heart pure I shall make. ```Chahi ami mane prane nirabata
Bihane tar sabi nitur biphalata ```Silence I desire
In my vital and in my mind.Without silence,
Everything is a ruthless failure. ```Eso eso manorama priyatama
Rupayite mor man kardama ```O Beauty infinite, O Love infinite,
Do come down to transform my mind of clay. ```Urte chahi pakhir mato mukta akashe
Raibona ar moher deshe nimne hatase ```I long to fly like the birds in the freedom-sky.
No more do I want to remain belowIn the attachment-world
In utter helplessness-sighs. ```Bhalobase mor murkha manas basanar karagar
Taito bhitare taito bahire heri shudhu andhiyar ```My stupid mind loves the desire-prison.
Therefore, darkness, only darkness,Within, without I see.
```Chahi jakhan sabar prane tushite
Nache amar hiya pakhi kushite ```When I try to satisfy everybody’s heart,
My soul-bird dances ecstasy’s dance. ```Jago jago jago prabhu
Jago jago ajiPujbo tomai bhakti bhare
Diye phula saji ```Awake! Awake! My Lord, awake!
Awake! Awake today!You I shall worship with my devotion-heart.
You I shall give my flower-casket. ```Amare danite esechi dharai nishite dibase
E madhur bani karibo prachar ashesh harashe ```Into the world I came,
Myself to offer day and night.This sweetness-message I shall proclaim
With delight infinite. ```Shanti lagi kandbo ami
Shanti lagi kandboPhulla chitte amire mor
Tomar paye bandhbo ```For peace I shall cry.
Cheerfully I shall bind my little ‘i’At Your Feet.
```Nabinata dyuloke nabinata bhuloke
Nabinata bhitare nabinata bahireEso eso eso ogo sathe niye nirabata
Paramer dite chahi bijoyer saphalata ```O newness in Heaven, O newness on earth.
Newness within, newness without,Come! Come! With silence come.
To my Lord Supreme I desire to offerThe success-victory-life.
```Ajanar deshe ghuriya berai
Ajana deber sandhaneEkada heribo priyatame aji
Mor sugabhir dhyane ```In the world of the unknown
I roam in search of the God unknown.One day I shall see my Beloved Lord Supreme
In my meditation’s deepest depths. ```Jani jani agyanata jai na chere jete
Tare bidurite taito kandi prabhur kripa pete ```I know, I know, ignorance
Does not want to leave me.To cast my ignorance aside, therefore,
I cry for Compassion-Light of my Lord Supreme. ```Jene shune amod kare
Bhul karechi bhulTaito prabhu nahi heri
Kothao kona kul ```Knowing perfectly well the consequences
In utter pleasure-life,Teeming mistakes I have made.
Therefore, my Lord, the Golden Shore,Nowhere I see.
```Baddha guhai rakhibo
Ajike bahu puratan jibaneAmare phutabo amare tulibo
Chira nabiner swapane ```Today I shall keep my old life
Inside a cave completely closed.Fully blossomed I shall be
And myself I shall raiseTo the highest summits
Inside the dream of the ever-new. ```Maner sathe ghure berai
Dibanishi chinta kanta baneTaito more herina hai
Amar hiyar asimatar dhane ```Day and night I roam and roam with my mind
Inside the thick of the thought-thorn-forest.Therefore, I fail to see myself
Inside my own heart’s wealth infinite. ```Pracharite tomar bani
Karbo puta hiya khani ```Chahi ami mane prane nirabata
Bihane tar sabi nitur biphalata ```Eso eso manorama priyatama
Rupayite mor man kardama ```Urte chahi pakhir mato mukta akashe
Raibona ar moher deshe nimne hatase ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Shanti lagi kandbo ami, 1996
