Lyrics:

1. Akash Madhur Batas Madhur

Akash madhur batas madhur
   Charidike madhu akkhoy
Peyechi madhur sandhan ami
   Hayechi je madhumoy
Madhu jara chai ai ai ai
   Kari madhu bitaran
Madhur hasiya andhar nashiya
   Madhu rupe kari rupayan

Translation:

Sweetness is the sky, sweetness is the air,Sweetness all around me.
I have discovered sweetness-life
Within and without.
Sweetness-heart I distribute.
All darkness I have destroyed
With my all-illumining sweetness-smile.

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

2. Alo Alo Alo Mukti Shikha Jwalo

Alo alo alo
Mukti shikha jwalo
Alo alo alo
Kripa sindhu dhalo
Alo alo alo
Amaratar bhalo
Alo alo alo
Laho amar kalo

Translation:

O Light of the Supreme, O Light of the Supreme,
   O Light of the Supreme!
Kindle the flame of Liberation within me.
Pour down the ocean of Compassion
   into my heart.
You are Immortality’s Divinity.
Accept my darkness, bondage, ignorance
   and death.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 1’ songbook

3. Alpa Kathar Manush Ami

Alpa kathar manush ami
Alpa katha koy
Beshi katha balte amar
Prane kare bhoy
Beshi kathar sathe thake
Mithya parichoy
Taito ami alpa katha koy

Translation:

I am a man of few words.
I speak very little.
When I talk much,
Fear captures my heart.
When I speak too much,
Utter falsehood becomes my name.
Therefore, I am a man of few words.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘One Thousand Lotus Petals, Part 1’ songbook

Lyrics:

1. Ajike Amar Hridaya Duar

Ajike amar hridaya duar
Khule dao prabhu khule dao
Sakal kalima manas haite
Muchhe nao prabhu muchhe nao
Tomar sebar jogya habar
Adhikari karo santane
Shaishab hate ami jena chali
Niyata tomar sandhane

Translation:

Today do open my heart’s door, O Lord.
All the ugliness, darkness and ignorance
that I cherish
Do remove from the depth of my heart.
I know I am not worthy of worshipping You,
But do make me worthy.
Right from my childhood may I search for You;
May I cry only for You.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Pole-Star Promise-Light, Part 3’ songbook

2. Akarane Prabhu Chitte Tomar

Akarane prabhu chitte tomar
Kata shatabar henechi
Agyanatar dhrira srinkhale
Khudra jibane bendhechi

Translation:

O my dearest Supreme,
O my beloved Supreme,
O my sweetest Supreme,
How many hundreds of times have I hurt You
   Without any reason?
On the summit-pinnacle of ignorance-mountain
I have bound my little, insignificant life.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Flame-Roads’ songbook

3. Akashe Amar Batase Amar

Akashe amar batase amar ek ananta chetana
Hanibo nashibo nimeshe ajike dharanir ghana bedana

Translation:

My infinite consciousness-light
Pervades the sky and ether.
Today I shall strike and destroy in a twinkling
The world’s intense sufferings.

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.

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.
