Ke Diyeche More Chapal Paran
Ke diyeche more chapal paranAshanti ghor byatha aphuran
Moha karagar bhiti parabar
Abachetanar bhrukuti pathar
Pabo kigo kabhu taba sandhan
Ogo amarar debata pashan
Who has given me this restless vital,
Dark unrest and endless suffering?
In the prison cell of attachment
And in the ocean of fear,
I hear the wild laughter of inconscience.
Will I ever discover You, O Lord?
To me, You are nothing but a stone-hearted God
Who never descends
And who always remains in the ecstasy-life
Of Heaven.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 1, Agni Press, 1977
