Amar shaadh na mitilo,
My longings have not found fulfillment
Asha na purilo,
My dreams have not culminated
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma..
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo
My longings have not found fulfillment
Jonomer shodh daki go Ma tore,
I have been intensely yearning for you all my life
Kole tule nite aaye Ma…
Its time you come to lift me on your lap Ma
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma.
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo,
My longings have not found fulfillment
Asha na purilo,
My dreams have not culminated
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma..
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo..
My longings have not found fulfillment
E Prithibir keu bhalo to bashe na,
In this world no-one can love me
E prithibi bhalo bashite jaane na.
In this world they do not know how to love me
Jetha achhe shudhu bhalobashabashi,
Where is there pure loving love, where is there truly loving me
Shetha jete pran chaye Ma..
There my soul longs to be
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma.
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo,
My longings have not found fulfillment
Asha na purilo,
My dreams have not culminated
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma..
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo
My longings have not found fulfillment
Boro daga peye bashona tejechhi,
Having suffered deep agony, I at last abandoned my dreams
Boro jwala* shoye kamona bhulechhi,
Being scorched by pain, I released all cherished desires
Onek kendechhi, kandite pari na
I have cried so much, I can cry no more
Buk phete bhenge jaye Ma..
My heart is bursting with hurt, Ma
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma..
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo,
My longings have not found fulfillment
Asha na purilo,
My dreams have not culminated
Shokoli phuraye jaye Ma..
Everything just ends in dust, Ma
Amar shaadh na mitilo
My longings have not found fulfillment
*Swamiji sings ‘jwala’ (meaning scorching pain) as ‘daga’ (which also means deep hurt or intense agony).
