Ai Ma Shyama Pagli Amar
Ai ma shyama pagli amar
Ami ma tor pagla chele
De ma ma ma amai mukta kare
Sakal bandhan dure phele
Ma tor bijoy ma tor prakash
E jagate e jibane
Lakya amar ar janina
Rakhish na ar maya bane
Translation
O my mad Mother, come, come!
Your mad son is crying for You.
Mother, make me free from all
Bondage-shackles.
Mother, my only aim
Is to proclaim Your Victory
And manifest Your Light.
Therefore, keep me not in the thick
Of attachment and illusion-forest.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Surrender, Agni Press, 1975
