Purify.. my life..


Purify.. my life..
with the purging touch.. of fire..
Purify my life..
With your blessings of searing pain..
Make it pure.. like the gold..
That passes the test.. of fire..

Take unto you my mortal form..
Make it a lamp.. of your divine abode..
Let the flame.. of my song.. glow through night.. and day..

The slightest of your touch.. on the dark.. frame of night..
Let it spark an untouched star.. one after.. another
To illuminate.. the darkness..

Let my vision.. be cleansed from all darkness..
Whither alights my gaze.. may it see the light..
Let my pain.. be ablaze.. and rise above despair..


****Another attempt (by Anandamayee Majumdar)

Your flaming.. touch, let it blaze.. my heart..
purify.. this life of mine..
clarify.. this life of mine..
simplify.. this life of mine..
glorify.. this life of mine.. atoning as I burn..

Lift my soul.. lift my heart.. a blazing torch of light..
glowing in the sky.. with stars.. that shimmer in the night..
Melody, let it sear, forever, as I burn..

Impel my layers of dark.. let your hands.. alight..
kindling stars.. awake.. evoking them with light..

May darkness disappear..
from all my soul.. and sight..
awaking senses with sanctifying light
--
Agony, let it sear, forever, as I burn..

( ****this attempt was made to be able to sing this song in English.)

  2. "Aguner Poroshmoni" song is very heart touching specially for Rabindranath Tagore, cause he is one the most greatest writter of the world. I could self realize again when I listen the song and feel the lyrics.
