Lyrics: (by Sudeep Chakravarty)
O Mother Divine, so blissful and bright,
Do not leave me lost in sorrow’s plight.
Without the refuge of Your sacred feet,
My heart feels empty, my soul incomplete.
O Mother Divine, so blissful and bright,
Do not leave me lost in sorrow’s plight.
I wished to wander this world so free,
Chanting Your name in endless glee.
But never did I dream You’d let me drown
In waves of sorrow that pull me down.
O Mother Divine, so blissful and bright,
Do not leave me lost in sorrow’s plight.
Day and night, I float in Durga’s name,
Yet my suffering lingers, just the same.
If I perish, O Mother Divine,
Who will be left to chant Your name in time?
O Mother Divine, so blissful and bright,
Do not leave me lost in sorrow’s plight.
Without the refuge of Your sacred feet,
My heart feels empty, my soul incomplete.
Without the refuge of Your sacred feet,
My heart feels empty, my soul incomplete
