Ami Ankina Manasa Chabi

```

Ami ankina manasa chabi

Bhabina amare kabi

Shiber jatai kabhu

Nahi heri jahnabi

Khama karo more prabhu

Homer anale karina pradan habi

```

Translation

```

In the mental world I do not claim myself

To be an artist.

In the thought-world I do not claim myself

To be a poet.

My imagination never sees the source

Of the Ganges

Inside the matted hair of the Lord Shiva.

O Lord, forgive me,

Forgive my incapacity to become

A life of sacrifice

Before the fire of transformation’s perfection. ```
