Many are deep desires of heart

আমি বহু বাসনায় প্রাণপণে চাই
Many are deep desires of heart
Depriving me, you have saved me
This grace of yours is hard earned treasure
For me to save my whole life long
What you gift, without me wanting
Firmament, light, body, mind, soul
Relentlessly each day,
You make me worthy of your greatest gifts
Save me from crisis of limitless needs.

Now and then I wander,
Now and then I progress,
In my quest to follow your path
Ruthlessly you elude my sight
This mercy of yours, know I alas
Wishing to win me, decline me
Making my life complete
You make me worthy of union with you
Save me from the crisis of half-hearted needs

  2. Rumela Ji, please tell us the original title of this poem by Gurudev.

    Also, suggesting a small correction. I guess in the first line the word 'প্রাণপণে' should be written as 'প্রাণপনে'.
