Amar Apamaner Tale
Amar apamaner taleTumi hasa kripar bale
Amar sakal dukher rate
Tumi aso prabhat hathe
Amar hiyar ashru gopan
Tomar praner ashesh bedan
Asbe tumi amar kache
Taito amar sabiy nache
When I am insulted,
When I am humiliated,
You strengthen me with Your Compassion-Power.
You come to me carrying the dawn in Your Hands
To replace my life of sorrow.
My heart’s secret tears
Create endless sufferings in Your Heart.
I know one day You will come to me;
Therefore, today everything that I have and I am
Is dancing with joy.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 1, Agni Press, 1977
