Ekla Ami Dushtu Shudhu
Ekla ami dushtu shudhu
Ar sabe ki shanto
Porar katha shune bujhi haina keha klanto
Ekhan nahe parbo pare anek samoi achhe
Golpo ami shunbo ekhan didi monir kachhe
Eman ichchha amar mato haina ki ar karo
Sushil shubok panchti cheler bolte ki nam paro
Translation
I alone am a naughty boy
And the rest are calm and quiet.
There is nobody to become tired
As soon as he hears about study.
Not now, not now,
Later on I shall study.
I shall now hear stories from my grandmother.
Like me, do others have no desire?
Can you tell me five names,
Only five names, of such sweet
Calm and devoted children?
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
