Bhul Kare Ma Na Hoi Ami
Bhul kare ma na hoi ami
Jaini tomar kachhe
Tumi kena dharani e hat
Chhutechhile amar lagi
Paliye gechhi karechhi utpat
Na hoi ami tomar dake
Asini ma phire
Tai bujhi ma bhasiye dibe
Akul sagar nire
Translation
Mother, true, I have not gone to You,
By mistake.
But why have You not come
And caught my hand?
Did you run toward me?
I ran away and played mischief, true.
I have not come to You when You called me.
Is that a sufficient reason
Why You threw me into the water
Of the endless ocean?
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
