Touch my life with your fire
So that this spirit
burns as a glorious offering.
Lift my body
like a lamp into the heavens
day and night; let its flame
burn in a glowing song.
In this body of darkness
I shall feel your touch
through the nights…..
as you light the stars
One after another.
No darkness shall
cover my eyes-
I will find wondrous lights
wherever I gaze.
And my pain
will burn away
and dissipate up in the skies.

সখী ভাবনা কাহারে বলে
What is thought, what is pain
Day and night you say ‘love and love’
What is love ? is it always painful ?
Is it tear drop ? is it the breath of sorrow ?
How do people find joy in this sadness?
In my eyes all is beautiful
Everything new, everything fresh
Wide blue skies,
green fields
Soft moonlight, tender yielding flowers- everything like me
they always laugh, always cry
they want to laugh and cry while they die..
they don’t know pain, don’t know how to cry
don’t know blissful suffering
flowers drop off with a smile
moonlight smiles away into the night
stars from the sky , laugh as they drop from the sky
and fade into the morning sun
who is there as happy as me ?
come my friend come to me
with happy heart and happy song, I will
bring delight into your life
if everyday you always cry
why not everybody laugh for a day
for one day, why not forget sufferings
and let us sing all together.

Jodi prem dile na prane
যদি প্রেম দিলে না প্রাণে
If you did not give love in my heart
Why did you fill the morning sky with songs?
Why there is a garland of stars ?
Why a bed of flowers-
Why do southern breeze whisper so many secrets in my ears ?
If you did not give love in my heart
Why do the sky stare like that at my face
Every moment, why
the madness in my heart
longs to float the boat in an ocean with unknown shores.
