Amal Dhabal Charan Kamal
Amal dhabal charan kamalKemane pujibo balo aji balo
Kemane gahibo sumadhur sure
Tomar bijoy gan
Nai bhav bhasha
Chanda o tal
Nai parijat marma maral
Ache shudhu hai katha balibar
Sutibra byakulata
Pure, unalloyed Lotus-Feet of Yours,
How can I wash You?
Do tell me today.
How can I sing Your victory-song
With a sweet, melodious voice?
I have no tune, no words,
No metre, no rhyme,
No flowers, no heart’s want.
I have only a quenchless inner urge.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
