Lyrics:
1. Barai Boka Tumi Priya Barai Tumi Boka
Barai boka tumi priya barai tumi boka
Kena tumi thakte chaho chirakaloi khoka
Ei abani srijan kare dile kahar hate
Ashru jhare nitya moder agyanatar rate
Translation:
You are a great fool indeed, You are
a great fool, O Lord.
Why do You want to remain eternally a babe?
After creating this world, to whom
have You given the responsibility?
Day in and day out we shed bitter
tears in the night of ignorance.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 2’ songbook
2. Basana Kamana Jatana Bedana
Basana kamana jatana bedana
Dure chale jao aji
Alo tari beye more niye jete
Eseche parama majhi
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Kalpana Rath — Imagination Chariot’ songbook
3. Basanar Jal Sampibo Tomare Sampibo
Basanar jal sampibo tomare
Sampibo nithur bandhan
Ahamika moha khudra amire
Karibo ajike khandan
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Journey’s Ecstasy’ songbook
4. Bedanai Bhara Chetana Amar
Bedanai bhara chetana amar
Ghor tamasar asim pathar
Jibaner alo maraner kalo
Tomar charane ebar phuralo
Shanti sagare sudha sandhan
Peyechhe ajike trishita paran
Translation:
An infinite expanse of darkness
Covers the life of my consciousness,
Filled with excruciating pangs.
The light of my life, the darkness of my death —
All, all, at Your Feet I have now exhausted.
In the sea of peace, my thirsty heart
Has discovered today Nectar-Delight.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 1’ songbook
