Shramiker Byatha Shilpi Bujhena
Shramiker byatha shilpi bujhena shilpir byatha kabi
Kalpana kare bujheo bujhena ankena hiyar chabi
Translation
The pangs of the labourer are beyond the artist’s grasp.
The pangs of the artist are beyond the poet’s reach.
Here the flight of imagination fails
Because the soul-paintings of heart’s oneness are missing.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Surrender, Agni Press, 1975
