Ahead of me a sea of bliss

সমুখে শান্তিপারাবার
shomukhe shantiparabar 

Ahead of me a sea of bliss
Unmoor the raft, my Helmsman!
My eternal friend You will be
Take me, do take me into Your lap

The path into the boundless beyond
Is lit up by the lone pole star

You who deliver me from bondage
Your clemency, Your compassion
Will sustain me through my eternal voyage

Let my mortal attachments fall apart
Let the vast cosmos fold me in her embrace
Let the great unknown become the known
With an intimacy that knows no fear

To every soul who offered me joy

যে কেহ মোরে দিয়েছ সুখ
Je keho more diyechho shukh (with audio)


To every soul.. who.. offered me joy..
Comforting and cajoling..
To you.. I am grateful..
To every soul.. who taught me hurt..
Gifting me lessons.. of woe..
To you.. I am grateful. 


To every soul.. who loved me..
Your love.. is my beacon..
I have discovered you in that warmth..

I have beheld you.. in that luminance..
To you.. I am grateful.

 
To every soul.. who.. abandoned me..
You have nudged me on..
Nearer.. and surer.. to my grand source..

To you.. I am grateful.

Whether I may.. realize..
Whether I may.. trust..
I found.. the supreme radiance..
In this universe..
Just as simply as I opened my eyes..

To you.. I am grateful.
