Hriday Pakhi Na Jadi Gahe Gan
Hriday pakhi na jadi gahe ganKeman kare tutbe abhiman
Abhimaner tibra jala
Chitta amar dahe
Mago tomar shanti sudha
Kon sudure rahe
If my heart-bird does not sing,
How can my sulking nature come to an end?
I have been suffering for a long time
Because of my endless sulking.
Mother, where is Your Peace?
Where is Your Delight?
Are they in the farthest corner of the globe?
I need peace, I need nectar,
From You, from You.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
