Jibaner Sukh Maraner Dukh
Composed on Apr. 20th, 1976
Lyrics:
Jibaner sukh maraner dukh
Michha maya kigo sakali
Hetha jato jani tato nahi jani
Tabu janibar akul pipasa
Hetha jato pai tato nahi pai
Andhar bhariya hriday akashe bijali
Translation:
Sri Chinmoy's Translation:
Is it all utterly false and illusory,
What I call happiness in life
And what I call suffering in death?
Here in this world, the more I know,
The more I do not know.
Knowledge-light and ignorance-night
Have equal hold on my life.
Yet I cherish an insatiable thirst for wisdom-light.
Here in my life, fulfilment and unfulfilment together live.
My heart-sky is all dark,
Yet I see there illumining flashes of lightning.
