Who is it that beckons with an affectionate call<br />
Her voice resonating throughout the world<br />
Come one, come all, come let's go<br />
<br />
So the birds sing in joy<br />
Suffusing dawn with sweet melody<br />
Why then this sorrow<br />
Why the tears in your eyes<br />
Why curl up in distress<br />
Why bereft of joy<br />

Let's go and fulfil our hopes</div>

Euphoria in my body<br />
Wine in my eyes<br />
My heart tied<br />
with a red ribbon.<br />
<br />
Below the sky now<br />
In the water, land, flowers, fruits<br />
You spread me, my love.<br />
<br />
What game is this with you now.<br />
Can't tell if I really found out.<br />
<br />
Joy wants to feign tears.<br />
Sweet separation<br />
makes the sun rise.<br />

As the day ends<br />
listen to the call<br />
from deeper chambers<br />
of your world.<br />
<br />
See how the good night<br />
fires candles to celebrate.<br />
<br />
At the brink of your earth<br />
sing a song of thanks.<br />
<br />
Calm your heart<br />
spent with noise and haste.<br />
<br />
Even if you miss the Sight<br />
you can bare your heart.<br />
The dark will be the Touch.<br />
The dark will bring the Joy.<br />

In the sun, in the night<br />
I see why you screen your face.<br />
<br />
Through many tasks all day I know<br />
why you dress up differently<br />
why you make mixed melodies.<br />

When the ferrying is all over<br />
I see where you leave to<br />
in your sunset-boat.<br />

<br />
Your grief will not last forever<br />
A shore there is beyond the untold teardrops of this ocean<br />
All afflictions of this life will come to end here<br />
In the abode of eternal life, there is everlasting solace<br />
Your death will not last forever<br />
You will go past it’s gates<br />
Your fetters will be freed<br />
If at this hour, the flowers of your worship wilt in the storm<br />
Your salver will be filled with a garland when you leave<br />

Play your Veena in my innermost being<br />

In times of delight and joy<br />
In times of peril and woe<br />
Play a blissful strain, my friend, in my innermost being<br />

In deep distress I lie awake<br />
A dark night overcast with dense clouds<br />
Alone I am<br />
Of you showing up<br />
I have lost all hope<br />
Night gives way to dawn<br />
Awaken all directions<br />
I stand at the door<br />
My arms outstretched<br />
My eyes eager for your arrival<br />

We know Him as our companion<br />
It is of Him alone we know<br />
Night and day we plead with Him<br />
We beseech Him to be our mate<br />
With Him we tend to our flock, a sweet song on our flute<br />
For Him we lay a cosy seat in the banyan shade<br />
With Him at the helm, our boat we row<br />
We rejoice with Him, come stormy waves<br />
When the day’s work is all done<br />
For Him we light a lamp at dusk<br />
And gaze expectantly at the road<br />

Countless rays in boundless space<br />
So many planets, so many satellites<br />
Many a sun, many a star glowing in amazing blaze<br />
Where are you, O where are you?<br />
Without you there is no light<br />
The sun and moon dimmed<br />
In darkness plunged the whole universe<br />
Your presence within my heart is blissful O Lord<br />
Your sweet presence reveals itself<br />
In the sweet radiance of love</div>

I am the flame of the evening lamp<br />
The forehead of darkness I anoint with a holy mark<br />
The touch of my radiance ignites a secret thrill in it’s dreams<br />
In it’s heart is etched my first love letter<br />
My celebration is in silence beneath a sky bereft of birdsong<br />
When the young sun steps out<br />
When the world is awakened at dawn<br />
I fade away like a fleeting mirage<br />

I won’t be scared, I won’t have fear<br />
I won’t quit in fright before it’s time<br />
To sail my raft, I must face the storm<br />
I won’t let go of the helm and oars<br />
I won’t dissolve into tears<br />
I have to practise that which is tough<br />
I will stand with my head held high<br />
I will not lurch into the slush<br />
Wanting to take the easy road<br />
My duties I will own, walk the straight road<br />
If adversity comes my way<br />
I won’t crouch into a corner<br />

Fear not, fear not, victory will be yours<br />
This locked door will be flung open<br />
I know you will break free of your fetters<br />
You lose yourself now and then<br />
In the dormancy of a deep dark night<br />
Time and again you will have to reclaim<br />
Your own rights in this universe<br />
To this earth you have been invited<br />
Summoned to this society<br />
She invokes you to sing each day<br />
Of your joy, woe, fear and shame<br />
Flowers and leaves, rivers and springs<br />
Will join you in your melody<br />
Darkness and light will pulsate to your beat<br />

<br />
Letting diffidence overwhelm you is an insult to yourself<br />
Let not the anxiety of danger cower you down<br />
Free yourself from fear<br />
Seize the strength within you<br />
Triumph over your own self<br />
Defend the destitute<br />
Vanquish the villainous<br />
Never regard yourself as wretched, helpless<br />
Free yourself from fear<br />
Seize the strength within you<br />
Never doubt your own self<br />
When duty summons you with a clarion call<br />
Wager your own life in humble silence<br />
Free yourself from fear<br />
Seize the strength within you<br />
Let your worth be revealed in daunting tasks<br />
<br />
another version by Anandamayee Majumdar (to be rendered in English)<br />
<br />
Don't you stop my wavering heart<br />
Don't imagine the unhappy fact.<br />
<br />
Master the path,<br />
free the fear and win your heart.<br />
<br />
Care for small people, fight the ugly.<br />
You don't need more to be complete.<br />
<br />
Master the stakes,<br />
don't you doubt you have what it takes.<br />
<br />
When the bell goes, give all you have.<br />
Sweet and silent, follow the path.<br />
<br />
Master the fear,<br />
show your strength when courage is dear.<br />

Was it in my dream that I sensed<br />
When did you knock at my door<br />
I did not stir, I did not wake up<br />
You evanesced into the darkness<br />
I heard a soft pitter patter in my stupor<br />
Shadows shuddered through the forest<br />
Spooked by the chirping of crickets<br />
I did not stir, I did not wake up<br />
The river streamed by the edge of the forest<br />
A wayfarer beckoned to me<br />
Inviting me on a journey<br />
I know not if it had rung out<br />
The Veena at my bedside<br />
I did not stir, I did not wake up<br />
The fragrance from the forest swaddled my slumber<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
