I am beset with restlessness

আমি চঞ্চল হে
Ami chonchol hey (audio)

I am beset with restlessness
I thirst for what lies far beyond

The days go by
I sit listless at the window
And await Him
I yearn with all my heart and soul
To sense His touch

You who are far, so far away
You play such soulful melodies
I forget I do not have wings
All I have is a little nook

I am oblivious to the world
Distracted from the daily din

A lazy sun-kissed hour
Shadows frolic and play
Beneath the shady trees
That whisper sweet nothings
Is it You I behold
In the distant azure

You who are far, so far away
You play such soulful melodies
I forget that my doors remain
Bolted within my little room
