Akul Parane Kata Kichu Ami Cheyechi
Akul parane kata kichhu ami cheyechhi
Diyechhi tomai hriday shonit diyechhi
Hatash paran pratidane shudhu peyechhi
Bhalobasa diye ashesh jatana kinechhi
Translation
With an eager heart
So many things I have desired.
I have offered You the blood of my heart.
In return, I have received
Only a disappointed heart.
I have bought endless excruciating pangs
With my heart’s love.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
