Srashta Amar Jagater Jyoti

Srashta amar jagater jyoti
Atma bijayi bir
Janani amar bishwa janani
Ei janiyachhi sthir
Ami chinmoy nahi mrinmoy
Mukta jyotir dhara
Jyotir jyotite dubiya rayechhi
Haiya apana hara

Translation

My Creator is the Light of the universe
And the supreme Hero-Conqueror of the Self.
My Mother is the Mother of the universe.
Indeed, this is my absolute realisation.
I am the consciousness supreme
And not earth’s ignorance-dream.
I am the light-flow
From the freedom of the Beyond,
Immersed and self-amorous
In the sea of Infinity’s Light.
