মম চিত্তে নিতি নৃত্যে
momo chitte niti nritye (audio)
Who is it dances within
To a rhythm so lively
Ever unceasing
With a roll of drums
Ever pulsing to the beat
Sway laughter and tears
Like diamonds and emeralds
Adorning a tiara
Frolic ebb and tide
Quivering to the rhythm
Pirouette birth and death
Gaily waltzing together
O what joy! what happiness!
Bondage and freedom twirl on night and day
I too sway on joyful waves
Keeping beat to the rhythm
Another version by Anandamayee Majumdar
The dancer in my heart
Is an unsolved mystery,
Someone within dovetails those measures
Possessed by the big bash
And on that stage,
Tears and elation
Are jewels spilling from my soul
Enacting, in one breath
Good and irksome are twins
Tripping together
Life and death
Are partners in the sensation
The ecstasy is breathtaking;
To discover
Freedom and bondage
Spinning, inextricably,
To chase the cosmic wave,
To dance with creation

Who is it within me who dances
ReplyDeleteIn a rhythm so lively
Like in trance ever unceasing
(With His feet tapping and
Body twirling in alternation)
Can hear too the sound of drums
Beating in perfect consonance
Sway my laughters and my tears
Like diamonds and emeralds
Adorning His tiara
My delights and my pains
Quivering to that rhythm
Like Birth and Death waltzing
One after the other
In lilting harmony.
O how contented I feel within me
Ever without a break
My freedom and my restraint
Locked in each others cadence.
Like a lightwave I run behind Him
O what a crazy rhythm it is.
