Kena Bhase Mor E Khina Parane
Kena bhase mor e khina paraneAkash kusum kalpana
Jadi nahi chao gabhir akuti
Karite tomar ar cha na
Hriday gabhire shanti na pai
Ashanta ami durbal
Rangin swapan ogo priyatama
Karibe ki more ujjal
I do not know why in this weak heart of mine
Lofty imaginations fly.
Although I do not have immense aspiration
To worship You,
I want to be real.
I wish to have
In the depth of my heart
Boundless peace and love.
Now I am restless and weak.
Will Your golden Dream, O Lord,
Illumine me and make me immortal?
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 2, Agni Press, 1977
