Pritir Bandhane Khina E Parane
Pritir bandhane khina e paraneBandhite niyata chao
Anrite ami nachai chahite
Tai tumi chale jao
Tumi chao mor dhalite parane
Dibya shanti dhara
Shudhu badha pao taba madhu dake
Hriday na dei sara
With Your Love-light
You want to bind me, bless me,
My little heart, my feeble heart.
Alas, I do not want to give up my falsehood-life;
Therefore, You go away.
You want to pour boundless Light and Peace
Into my heart.
You meet with only opposition from me,
And get no response from my closed heart.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 2, Agni Press, 1977
