Lyrics:

1. Bedanare Bhule Jabo

Bedanare bhule jabo
Jedin tomare pabo
Andhiyar karagar
Heribona kabhu ar
E jiban tiyashar
Amrita parabar
Tomar charane pabo

Translation:

All my heart’s pangs I shall forget
The day I get You as my own.
The prison of tenebrous gloom
No more shall I see within.
My life’s thirst for the Sea of Nectar-Delight
At Your Feet will, before long, be quenched.

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

2. Bela Chale Jai

Bela chale jai bela chale jai bela
Kotha tumi ogo jibaner shesh khela

Translation:

My time is passing away.
My time is passing away.
O, where are You,
My life’s last game?

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Bela Chale Jai’ songbook

3. Bela Hale Chale Jabe Tari Bahi

Bela hale chale jabe tari bahi
Tabe kena ele hetha giti gahi
   Tomar tarani pare   
Jadi kabhu nibe more
Tabu jena toma pane sada chahi
Tomar bijoy giti gahi

Translation:

If it was decided that when the final hour strikes
You will go back sailing your boat,
Why then did You come singing to this world?
If You do not carry me in your boat, no harm.
Do grant me the boon
To invoke you always and sing your victory-song.

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

4. Bela Jaina Ami Marina

Bela jaina ami marina
Ami chalina kichu karina
Kabhu dakina kabhu pujina
Karo parane bhalobasina

Translation:

Time is hanging heavy.
I do not die.
I do not move.
I do not do anything.
Never do I invoke,
Never do I worship
My Lord Supreme.
I love no heart.

– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Seventy Rosebuds’ songbook

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

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
