Tomáre bhálobásiyá
Tomári patha cáhiyá
Ket́e geche kata je jug
Jáni ná se kata jiivan
Kumud bhálobáse cáṋde
Tári lági háse káṋde
Cáṋd ki táhá náhi jáne
Bojhe ná ki táhári man
Rase ráge bhará dhará
Tumi biná rúpahárá
Phańiisama mańiihárá
Káṋdiyá jái vyathámagan
Áshá niye beṋce áchi
Ásháte hrdi beṋdhechi
Mor e áshá balo more
Haibe ná ki sampúrań
Loving You,
Gazing at Your path,
How many ages have now passed?
I know but that it's been lifetimes.
In love with the moon is the lily;
For the moon she laughs and cries.
The moon, does it not realize,
Does it not understand the lily's mind?
The earth, full of love and affection,
Without You, its charm is all absent.
Like a cobra who has lost her gem,
I keep crying, plunged in distress.
Maintaining hope, I have survived;
With hope my heart I've pacified.
Tell me please, this hope of mine...
Will it never be fulfilled?
Darpa cúrńa kariyá tháko

Egiye calár dishárii (tumi)
Pride You go on pulverizing;
So You are the vanquisher of conceit.
Everyone is known to You, oh Unknown Self,
Grazing in both external and inner realm.
You are the dispeller of all danger,
Every mind's pleasure, oh Master.
Delight of heart, adored by world,
You never abandon, never go far.
By only Your light, Earth is illumined,
Intimate Lord, the cosmic mind-walker.
To a despondent mind You keep giving strength;
The ancient torments, forgetting You let.
With fresh zeal and new stream of movement,
You are the trailblazer, pioneer of progress.

On that gloomy path that rainy night,
You arrived, my Darling, You arrived.
With air after air on sweet lyre strings,
To what distant place did You entice me?
In that pitch darkness, fearful and afraid,
It was lightning rays that showed me the way.
Sleepless in that rain, with all hopes crushed,
My despairing heart obtained expression.
With a thunderclap and a voice boisterous,
To the unconscious, You gave consciousness.
Companion of all trouble on my dark night,
Condoler upon every silent sacrifice,
Why do You stay so close from far away?
You I cannot fathom with bestowed ability,
The intellect that You had given me.
Patha bhule jabe esei paŕecho
Tháko mor ghare divá ráti (tumi)
Bádhár nigaŕ nije saráyecho

Eso áro káche baso manamájhe
Jágáo práńer pratiiti (tumi)
Shata amarár shata sudháráshi
Práńe bhási asiime udbhási
Sakal hiyár tamisrá náshi
Ajhore jhariche mane máti (tárá)
When forgot was the way, just then You came;
In my home You now stay, both night and day.
In person, You've removed my chains;
For opportune date You don't wait.
Pitter patter, pitter patter...
Outdoors the rain's been falling,
In my heart there is a silent stillness;
Unflickering, the candle that is lit.
Come closer still, be seated in my mind;
You rouse in me an understanding of life.
Countless wonderlands and clusters of moonlight,
Manifesting the infinite and teeming with life,
Laying waste to dark nights of every heart,
They cascade upon minds that are charmed.

Pristine Lord, the righteous ones
Have brought with them Your fire.
Enlightened rays of profound wisdom
Floated on Your wisdom's light.
Under matter's sway, mind insensate,
To life it came in the introversive phase.
When filled with love, on earth's expanse
Final oblation she has given.
Heaven's splendor has descended;
With Your grace the world's bedecked.
Earth and heaven have rose up reeling;
They've awakened to life's meaning.
(Tumi) Háriye jáoyár dakhin háoyá

You're the southern wind that had vanished
And the light that reappears.
You're sweet comfort on my nights of anguish,
And that's why I hold You dear.
On my nights of utter darkness,
With a golden lamp in hand,
You stay beside me always,
Removing all my gloom.
In sadness, sorrow, and affliction
My tears are wiped by Your own hand.
To clear away the filthy grime,
You set alight hope's lamp.

Bee came into a flower's grove;
Why all asudden, no one knows...
Who knows, oh, who knows?
Surrounded by multicolored leaves
And flower petals hued brilliantly,
The Bee heeds no restriction.
So now within that garden I gaze,
Mystified and amazed...
With songs of love a sweet breeze
Has lifted up and imbued me.
Flowers want the Bee to appear,
Abuzz with stories to speak...
Taking heart's nectar to fly away,
In every place, yes, every place.
There's nothing that can impede progress
When noble minds hold common purpose...
When speech is sung in practiced strain,
In every place, yes, every place.
In every garden there is just one image;
In all minds, it lies hidden...
In notes of an unstrummed harp
In every heart, yes, every heart.
Prabhu he mama tomári sama

Oh my Lord, like unto You,
None I see nor do I conceive.
Loving me and for my sake only,
So much pain You have removed.
When nights are stormy, You've made me fearless;
When hard rains fall, You've given me shelter.
Volcanoes may spit out their burning red fire;
Lush sweetness of rich greenery You provide.
I have forgotten You time and again,
And yet You've brought me back to the path.
On this enchanted, crimson-hued morning,
You gave me new life and granted fresh zeal.

Of Thee I am always thinking;
Something else I cannot think.
The more I think I won't ponder Thee,
I but fall the more into Your musing.
Only You and I are there;
The whole world, it is lost to me.
With Your beauty and melody,
You alone do I behold in everything.
Yonder stars of heaven distant
And this earth with glamor verdant—
In Your thought, all are spellbound,
Dancing in orbit Thee around.

With a smile, You made flowers bloom, bees converge;
You brightened my mind.
By rivers in spate, abrim with delight,
The ocean was stirred.
Flower buds had hidden, drawn behind a veil,
Overwhelmed with shame.
Encouraged by just Your light rays,
Restless they became.
Timeless One, if purposely You came,
Then kindle light always.
The bumblebees are saying something;
Suddenly now they did leave.
In my heart waves rose and set it dancing
With light from Your melody.
I know You've loved me, so I deem
You worthy to highest degree.
