Each moment, master

প্রতিদিন আমি, হে জীবনস্বামী
Protidino ami he jeebonoshami
audio: Kanika Banerjee

Each moment, master

with an easy bow
I shall face you
as I stand.

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

In the human conundrum
in many errands
among everyone
I shall face you
as I stand.

When my task in your world
is all over and done
alone and silent
I shall face you
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 and 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
