Ek Bhul Kari Shatabar
Ek bhul kari shatabar
Charidike byetha parabar
Dur asimer ajanar
Kanta bane ghuri ami eka
Na jani ki achhe bhale lekha
Prabhu kotha taba pada rekha
Translation
The same mistake I commit hundreds of times.
Around me is the ocean of sorrows.
I am sure this sorrow has come
From the unknown Infinity.
In the forest of thorns I am moving all alone.
I do not know what is written on my forehead.
Lord Supreme, where shall I get the dust
of Your Feet?
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
