Lyrics:

1. Bane Bane Mane Mane

Bane bane mane mane
Khane khane sugopane
Rahi taba aradhane
Hasi ananda sane

Translation:

In the thick forest of my life
And in the dense cave of my mind,
Secretly at every moment I worship You.
With me, my two eternal friends —Smile and delight.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘My Green Adoration-Gifts, Part 2’ songbook

2. Ai Ai Ai Chandra Taraka

Ai ai ai chandra taraka
Nil nabha rabi ai
Parane bajichhe amarar banshi
Jiban ajike asimer hasi
Nai hetha nai dainya timir
Jyoti nirjhar bishal e nir
Ai ai ai antara pakhi
Ajike sabare chai
Ai ore ai chandra taraka
Nil nabha rabi ai

Translation:

Come, come, come, O moon, O stars,
  O sun of the blue-vast sky.
Come to hear the flute of Immortality in my heart,
  to watch the smile of Infinity in my life.
Here there is no human poverty, no darkness-life.
Here, in this heart-nest of mine,
  there is only an endless fountain-light.
Come, come, come.
Today the bird of my heart
  desires everyone.
Come, come, come, O moon, O stars,
  O sun of the blue-vast sky.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Supreme, Teach Me How to Cry’ songbook

3. Ai Ma Shyama Pagli Amar

Ai ma shyama pagli amar
Ami ma tor pagla chele
De ma ma ma amai mukta kare
Sakal bandhan dure phele
Ma tor bijoy ma tor prakash
E jagate e jibane
Lakya amar ar janina
Rakhish na ar maya bane

Translation:

O my mad Mother, come, come!
Your mad son is crying for You.
Mother, make me free from all
Bondage-shackles.
Mother, my only aim
Is to proclaim Your Victory
And manifest Your Light.
Therefore, keep me not in the thick
Of attachment and illusion-forest.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Supreme, Teach Me How to Surrender’ songbook

Maha bharater jagya-bahni ghora
Amara nashibo ama rajanir kaya
Rakhibo sudure maha bandhana chhaya

Darkness within, darkness without.
Therefore, I shout and scream.
Darkness within, darkness without.
I see no shore.
Darkness within, darkness without.
Before me is the dark, hopeless and fruitless death.
