Khudra Chaowa Byartha Nahe
Khudra chaowa
Byartha nahe
Byartha nahe asha
Tuchchha nahe
Ghrinya nahe
Praner bhalobasa
Purna rupe purna rase
uthuk jiban bhari
Deba jiban dibe dekha
Oi je tomar tari
Translation
A little desire ends not in vain.
A little hope ends not in vain.
Heart’s love is not a meaningless,
Contemptible thing.
May my life blossom
With a fulfilling beauty
And a fulfilling fragrance-flavour.
Lo, I behold Your Boat.
My new life has dawned.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
