Lyrics:
1. Amai Ami Jante Giye
Amai ami jante giye nitya kari bhul
Bhule bhule jiban gela dekhina hai kul
Samoy hale swarup amar ma janabe more
Tabu kena bandhi amai chanchalatar dore
Translation:
I commit constant mistakes while looking for
myself, my true form.
One mistake after another; my entire life
is full of mistakes.
Alas, I do not see the shore, the Golden Shore.
Yet I know when the hour strikes
My Mother will show me my true form.
Alas, why do I bind myself, then, with the
cord of wild restlessness?
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 2’ songbook
2. Amar Ashru Nire
Amar ashru nire
Asi ami phire phire
Jachi taba barabhoy
Ogo chira madhumoy
Gahi taba gahi joy
Amar haibe loy
Translation:
Again and again I come back
And sit inside the tears of my heart.
O Lord, I long for Your Compassion-Sea.
I sing Your Victory-Song.
I know this is the only way
That I can end my human life
And begin my life divine.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘One Thousand Lotus Petals, Part 1’ songbook
3. Amar Bhabana Amar Kamana
Amar bhabana amar kamana
Amar eshana amar sadhana
Tomar charane peyechhe ajike thai
Moher bandhan hiyar jatan
Timir jiban shaman shasan
Halo abasan
Nai nai ar nai
Translation:
My thoughts, my desires,
My aspiration, my life’s disciplines,
Have found their haven at Your Feet today.
The bondage of tempting attachment
and pangs of the heart,
The life of darkness and the torture of death,
No more I see, no more I feel.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 1’ songbook
