Ki Diye Tomare Pujibo Janani
Ki diye tomare pujibo jananiKon upachare pujibo
Jibaner shata miche abhimane
Kon jadubale nashibo
Abhiman hane bhaktire more
Nahi kate tai paraner ghor
Bhasibar lagi bhakti sagare
Nai je amar tarani
Jani ami mago tumiy amar
Jiban lakya sarani
I do not know, Mother, how to worship You,
How to adore You.
All false sulking, I do not know how to destroy.
I have no magic word to transform all my sulking
Into love divine for You;
Therefore, darkness of my heart never leaves me.
I want to sail in the sea of devotion.
Alas I have no boat of my own.
I know, I know, Mother,
You are my only road,
You are my only goal.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
