Charanaprante rakho sebake,
Shanti sadana sadhana dhana deba deba he
Sarba loka parama sharana,
Sakala moha kalusha harana,
Dukha tapa bighna tarana,
Shoka shanta snigdha charana,
Satya rupa prema rupa he,
Deba manujaja bandita pada bishwa bhupa he,
Hirdayananda purna indu,
tumi apar prem sindhu.
Jache trisata amia
-Rabindra Nath
Tagore
INTERPRETATION
Light, my light, the world
feeling light, the eyekissing light, heart-sweetning light.
Ah, the light dances, my darling at the centre of my life; the
light strikes at the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind
runs, wild laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light.
Lilies and jasmines surge the arest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, and it scatters
gems in profusions.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf and gladness without measure.
The heaven's river has drowned its banks, and the flood of joy
is abroad.
