"TOUCH ME WITH YOUR FIRE LORD" -
Translated version Composed by Catherine H Riley and sung by Amrita Kale .
The song is based on the English Translation of the original Bengali song by Shri Ravindranath Tagore, written on 26 Aug 1914. The English translation was published in "Later Poems of Rabindranath Tagore" published by Peter Owens Ltd in 1974, Translation Copyrights Aurobindo Bose 1974. The translated version we are singing in this video was Composed by Catherine H Riley, which is based on the English translation done by Aurobindo Bose. However this song was made popular by Jeff Wolverton at Myrtel Beach Meher Center USA, with little modifications, and since almost two decades its being sung regularly at Meher Baba Samadhi India and is now very popular.
আগুনের পরশমণি ছোঁয়াও প্রাণে।
এ জীবন পুণ্য করো দহন-দানে ॥
Touch me with thy fire,
Burn and purify my life.
Catherine H Riley is the composer of this English version setting of Shri Rabindranath Tagore's incredible poem.
In the words of Cathy Riley, she along with her husband had left Myrtle Beach for a summer retreat wishing to dedicate that summer of 1994 to their Art forms activities, as her husband is a painter, and was working on one of his paintings of Meher Baba, and Cathy was composing songs settings of Tagore, Rumi, Hafiz, Meher Baba, these incredible words "Purify me, touch me with your fire" just flowed out of her heart spontaneously. She later sang it at a concert in Meherabad (India). One of the Meherabad residents Jeff Wolverton often sang this song at the Samadhi of Meher Baba at Meherabad (India) after the Aarti, and it became widely known and popular.
In this video Amrita Kale, is singing this song.

Song settings composed by Cathy H Riley:
Touch me with your fire lord..
touch me with your fire lord
burn and purify my life
touch me with your fire lord
purify me....
lift my body
make it your temple lamp
let my songs be the oil
that feed the flame..
so touch me....
in the core of darkness
stars bloom forth from your touch
And my longing is a flame
rising to heaven
so touch me..
touch me with your fire lord . . .
Translation of Tagore's original Bengali song by Aurobindo Bose 1974.
Touch me with thy fire,
Burn and purify my life.
Lift my body
And make it thy temple lamp.
Let my songs be the oil
That feed the flame.
In the core of Darkness
Stars blossom forth at thy touch.
And my agony aflame
Rises to heaven.
The Original Bengali version is below
আগুনের পরশমণি ছোঁয়াও প্রাণে।
এ জীবন পুণ্য করো দহন-দানে ॥
আমার এই দেহখানি তুলে ধরো,
তোমার ওই দেবালয়ের প্রদীপ করো-
নিশিদিন আলোক-শিখা জ্বলুক গানে ॥
আঁধারের গায়ে গায়ে পরশ তব
সারা রাত ফোটাক তারা নব নব।
নয়নের দৃষ্টি হতে ঘুচবে কালো,
যেখানে পড়বে সেথায় দেখবে আলো-
ব্যথা মোর উঠবে জ্বলে ঊর্ধ্ব পানে ॥
