Akaash Bhora Surjo Tara
The sky so full of stars
The world so full of life
And I in its midst so at home
All so amazing— and so I sing!
Swayed by eternity's ebb and flow
The world keeps swinging
My pulse and bloodstream feel its pull
All so amazing— and so I sing!
On forest paths I tread the grass
Savoring the fragrance of flowers
Everywhere I view bountiful delight
All so amazing— and so I sing!
My eyes wide open, I listen intently
Immersing myself in the world's bosom
I look for the unknown in the known
All so amazing— and so I sing!
