GOAL
Make the life a prayer,
Opportunity is rare,
Remain in surrender and prayer.
Nothing is gained by birth and death,
Again and again,
Break the cycle of birth and death,
Move in a pathless path of prayer,
Effortless effort towards refinement,
Enter the gateless gate of
enlightment.
Know the power of the prayer and faith
Embrace the
eternal deathless death.
FIRST BLOOMING
Opens its petals with rising sun ,
Pearl white petals covered with dew,
Its beauty has delighted us for ages,
Its jade green leaves spread out over the pond,
And its pure fragrance perfumes the wind.
Cool and majestic, it raises from the murky water.
The sun sets behind the mountains, bayond the pond
It closes its petals and waits for next dawn.

ঝরা পাতা I
ঝড়ে ঝরা পাতা হয়ে উড়ছি মুক্ত অঙ্গনে
সীমাহীন উন্মুক্ত প্রান্তরে প্রান্তরে ,
দাসত্ব থেকে মুক্তি পেয়ে চিরশান্তির পথে
নেই কোনো বন্ধন, উন্মুক্ত অঙ্গন
করি আলিঙ্গন ঝড়ের বাতাসকে ,
উড়ে চলি দিগন্তের পারে অসীমের খোঁজে I
