Ai ma shyama pagli amar <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

O my mad Mother, come, come!
\nYour mad son is crying for You.
\nMother, make me free from all
\nBondage-shackles.
\nMother, my only aim
\nIs to proclaim Your Victory
\nAnd manifest Your Light.
\nTherefore, keep me not in the thick
\nOf attachment and illusion-forest.<\/p>\n

Alo alo alo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

O Light divine, do kindle the flame

\nO Light divine, do kindle the flame
\nOf wisdom-light inside my heart.<\/p>\n

Dharanire basi bhalo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Loving this world,
\nI have entered into this life of darkness-night
