Nil Pakhi Bale Ai Ai
Nil pakhi bale ai ai
Bela jai dekha bela jai
Sukhero madira je karechhe pan
Tahare namaskar
Ghire achhe jena satata sethai
Sukher andhakar
Translation
The blue bird says, come, come.
Time is passing by.
I salute him who has tasted
The wine of pleasure.
Rest assured that in him, around him,
Is nothing but the darkness of pleasure-night.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
