Tagore: O enchanting mother of earth ..

Tagore loved the earth as a beloved son loves his mother. He worshiped her with tender affection all through his life.. 

Oyi Bhubano Monomohini  
Oyi bhubano monomohini ma
Oyi nirmalsurjakarojjal dharoni janakjanonijanoni
Nilsindhujaldhautocharontal, anilbikampito-shyamal anchal
Amarchumbito bhalo Himachal subratusharo kiritini
Pratham prabhate udoy tabo gagone pratham samrob tabo tapobone
Pratham pracharito tabo banobhabone gyandharmo kato kabbokahini
Chirokalyanmoyi tumi dhanno desh bidheshe bitoricho anno 
Janhobijamuna bigolito karuna punnopijusstannobahini ..

Meaning:
O my enchanting mother of earth, mother o mother ..
O mother earth, bathed in the bright, pure glow of the sun, o mother of all ..
Blue waters of the ocean washes your feet, billowing in the wind is your green protective veil
Kissing the blue sky, the snowy white peaks of the Himalayas adorns your crown  
The very first dawn arose in your skies, the very first prayer echoed in your forest
You the harbinger of knowledge, you brought enlightenment and wisdom
Forever prosperous you are my blessed mother, nourishing the world with food
Overflowing compassion of your rivers quenched thirst for eons as streams of nectar flows from your breasts
O my enchanting mother of earth ..
