This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.
On this rocky path, day and night
I keep on,
I keep on flowing,
To a fountain of effulgence.

This path of mine is rugged and full of thorns.
The flowing stream emanating from the source of life
Keep shattering,
Keep shattering the granite prison walls.
To a fountain of effulgence.

Translated from Bengali
