Ekla Ami Raibo Hetha
Ekla ami raibo hetha
Amar hiya-bane
Phutbo ami kusum sama
Swapne jagarane
Ami amar dekhbo hasi
Dekhbo amar byetha
Ari amar ar keha nai
Kebal mukharata
Translation
Here I shall remain all alone
In the depth of my heart.
Like the flowers I shall blossom
In my dream and in my awakening.
I shall appreciate and admire my own beauty
And sympathise with my sorrow.
Nobody is my enemy except my talkative mouth.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
