Each moment..commander..

প্রতিদিন আমি, হে জীবনস্বামী
(pratidin ami he jibanswami)

Every moment.. commander.. of my life..

with an easy bow..
I shall face you with a benign salutation
as I stand..

Under the sprawling sky..
in solitude.. simplicity..
with  tears.. humility..
I will face you..
as I stand..

In the human conundrum..

in numerous chores..
along with all..
I will face you with a benign salutation..
as I stand..

When my task in your world..
is all over..
alone.. silent..
I will face you with a benign salutation..
as I stand..


(another version by Rumela Sengupta:)

Each day I’ll stand in front of you..
O Lord of my life..
I’ll stand in front of you with folded hands..
O Lord.. of this world.

Beneath your boundless.. blue skies..
With humble heart.. and tearful eyes..
I’ll stand in front of you in secluded solitude..

In this world of myriad shades..
Beyond the shores.. of action.. activity..
Amidst.. the multitudes.. that throng your world..
I’ll stand in front of you face to face..

When my work.. in your world is done..
O King.. of kings..
I’ll stand in front of you alone in silence..
