Hriday Nabhe Andhar Jabe Dhake
Hriday nabhe andhar jabe dhakePaina khunje kripa sindhu make
Gyana rabi prane jakhan phute
Timir bandhan nimeshe jai tute
When darkness sets in my heart’s sky
I see not Your Compassion-Ocean any more,
No matter how hard I try to see it.
When the knowledge-sun breaks forth from
Eternity’s bondage,
Darkness is smashed and illumined all at once.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
