Mago Bara Hale Karbo Ami
Mago bara hale karbo ami
Tomar Anek kaj
Dadar mato habo jeno
Rakhal daler raj
Garu niye mathe jabo
Khelbo jala khela
Phirbo ghare bhevona ma
Prati sandhya bela
Translation
Mother, when I grow up,
I shall work very hard for You.
Like my elder brother,
I shall be the leader of the cowherds.
I shall take the cows to the green field.
I shall play water games.
Mother, do not worry;
When the evening sets in
I shall definitely return
To You, my heart’s home.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Surrender, Agni Press, 1975
