Lyrics:
1. Bharater Rabi
Bharater rabi jagater kabi
Banger hiya chand
Sundar tumi bhitare bahire
Sundar tumi srishti gabhire
Bishwa sabhai tomar asan
Prema onkar nad
Translation:
O Sun of India’s sky,
O World-Poet,
O Moon of Bengal’s heart,
You were beautiful in your inner life,
You were beautiful in your outer life,
You were beauty incarnate in God’s entire creation.
Gloriously and triumphantly you secure your place
In the world-assembly with your creative force,
Supremely meaningful and fruitful
In various walks of life.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Journey’s Goal, Part 11a’ songbook

Bhikkha kari taje amar param pitar kachhe
Se dan niye hriday amar mahanande nache

3. Bhikkha Magi Bhikkha
Bhikkha magi bhikkha
Dikkha dao aj dikkha

Translation:
O Lord Supreme,
I implore Your alms divine.
Do initiate me, my earth-bound life.
O Lord Supreme,
Do teach me my life’s new lessons.
O Lord Supreme,
May my expectation-heart
Meet with satisfaction-bliss.

Ogo kandari dharo dharo mor

Within and without, all around me
Is the net of desire-attachment.
O World-Pilot,
Do sail my life-boat, sail.
