Prabháta Saḿgiita 1299
28 February 1984

Ácha chande ácha táne,
Ácha nrtye ácha gáne;
Ácha hatásháy hatamáne,
Ácha hiyá-bhará abhimáne.

Maruvuke marágáuṋge
Tarushákhe tájá rauṋe;
Bhálabásáte bhará bháśáte,
Úśasiir áváhane.

Hena kichu nái játe tumi nái,
Jáhá kichu pái tava karunái;
Tava krpákańá vahiyá veŕái,
Jiivaner prati shváse prati manane.

Gadaipur, Delhi, 28/2/84

You are in rhythm, You are in the resonance of music,
You are in dance, You are in song,
You are in despair, You are in a slighted soul,
You are in a heart laden with suppressed agony.

You are in the heart of the desert, You are in dry streams,
You are in the branches of trees, You are in fresh colours,
You are in language filled with love,
You are in our invocation of the dawn.

Nothing exists where You do not exist,
Whatever I receive is through Your kindness alone,
I carry a particle of Your grace
In every breath, in every thought of my life.
