Hatashai Bhara E Jiban Mor
Hatashai bhara e jiban morahare dekibe aj
Ke parabe dehe asaktihin
Dhruba karmer saj
Ogo sundar laho nati mor
Dao more bishwas
Purnata ar amarata taba
Mor shudhu abhilash
Doomed to disappointment
Is this life of mine.
Whom can I call today?
Who will help me don the robe of detachment?
Who will help me don the robe of truth-action?
O Beautiful One,
Do accept my heart’s obeisance.
Give me faith in boundless measure.
Your Infinitude and Your Immortality
Can alone please me,
Within, without.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1977
