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

There comes the consummate one

ওই মহামানব আসে 
Oi mohamanobo ashe

There comes the consummate one,
All of earth is exuberant,
Her grass shivers with thrill.
Conch-shells sound in heaven,
On earth, rap drum-beats of victory.
Approaches the moment for a great rise;
The hold of a moonless night
                        Shatters to dust.
In deep hope of a fresh start
There, where the sun rises over the hilltops,
'Have no fear!', sings a chant.
'Victory to emerging humanity,'
Thunders a voice in the vast sky.

Dear.. Newness..

হে নূতন, দেখা দিক আরবার
He nuton, dekha dik arbar..

Dear.. Newness.. I look forward
to the happy return..of this day..
Show yourself..like the Sun.. 
on a foggy day..

Uphold the victory of Life..
Uphold the infinite speaking through you.. 
in mysterious sparkles.. 

An auspicious conch.. announces..
the Sun.. has risen.. in.. my heart..
Your birth anniversary..
is an eternal invitation.. to the Ever-New..
