Bengali Poetry (Translated)

The Philosopher's Stone

What troubles you? Come, tell me true!
Within your heart there lies
the jewel of all creation's thought!

Why do you wander here and there
in vain worship of this and that?
Look within your own dwelling—
the guru's gift, the touchstone bright!

Six rogues dwell within your flesh,
go forth and conquer them;
your Madhusudana will dispel
death's tug of war.
