Se Bhalobasar Nai Je Mrityu Kabhu
Se bhalobasar nai je mrityu kabhuSei bhalobasa dhalen parane prabhu
Bhasma haibe ar sab bhalobasa
Manusher prane kebal mithya asha
The Love that we receive
From our Eternal Lord
Is the only Love that defies death.
Any other love
Will not survive ignorance-attack;
It is but false hope
That human beings treasure.
Only the Love of our Beloved Lord Supreme
Will everlastingly last.
The rest will all die
Either today
Or in the near future,
Or in the distant future.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1977
