This piece of work is deeply personal for me. I recorded this song - with no accompaniment - at a time when I was feeling particularly low, and Yudhajit and I made this video at a time when we were pained and outraged by atrocities against humanity being meted out in our country. When COVID-19 took over our world I wondered if it rendered all this irrelevant, but in the following months, I saw and heard of even more brutality against humanity, even more intolerance and hatred. Today I feel this world, our world, is in need of healing, of light and ‘shanti’ (peace), perhaps more than ever before.
I dedicate this work to all those discriminated against and persecuted on account of their race, caste, religion, gender, and sexuality.

Lyrics in Bangla
বরিষ ধরা-মাঝে শান্তির বারি
শুষ্ক হৃদয় লয়ে আছে দাঁড়াইয়ে
ঊর্ধ্বমুখে নরনারী॥
না থাকে অন্ধকার, না থাকে মোহপাপ,
না থাকে শোকপরিতাপ।
হৃদয় বিমল হোক, প্রাণ সবল হোক,
বিঘ্ন দাও অপসারি॥
কেন এ হিংসাদ্বেষ, কেন এ ছদ্মবেশ,
কেন এ মান-অভিমান।
বিতর' বিতর' প্রেম পাষাণহৃদয়ে,
জয় জয় হোক তোমারি॥
Translation
Pour your shower of peace on the earth.
With parched hearts, they stand and wait
Men and women, their faces turned up.
Let there be no darkness, tempt us not into sin,
Let there be no grief or remorse.
May the heart be pure, the soul resilient,
Remove all obstacles.
Why this rancor, why such dissembling?
What need the wounds of pride?
Scatter your love among the hard of heart,
Yours be the glory!
