Nahi Heri Unnati
Nahi heri unnatiCharidike abanati
Dibaser majhe nehari nishar kalo
Prane mor mago alor bahni jalo
Ratul charane thai
Ebar janani chai
Dekha dao mago samasya karo dur
E prane jagao madhu ananda sur
I see no progress;
Regress I see all around.
During the day, in the heart of the day,
I see darkness.
O Mother, do kindle the flame of aspiration
Inside my heart.
At least once allow me
To place myself at Your Lotus-Feet.
O Mother, do put an end to all my problems
And awaken inside me
The tune of nectar-delight.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1977
