Ami Amar Chirantaner Abahela
Ami amar chirantaner abahelaTumi amar mrityujoyi sudha bela
Ami amar agyanatar kanna bedan
Tumi amar manas baner mukti jiban
Ami amar chinta sroter ghor parajoy
Tumi amar hiya nabhe purnata nirbhoy
I am my own Eternity’s negligence.
You are my death-conquering nectar-time.
I am my excruciating pangs
In the world of my own ignorance.
You are the liberation-life of my mind-forest.
I am the worst defeat
In the flow of my thoughts.
You are the deathless, endless fulfilment
In my heart-sky.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 1, Agni Press, 1977
