Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Krśńamurári báṋsharii tomári Jágáiyá chilo jaŕe cetane Madhura bhávete madhura hásite Madhura chande madhura carańe Tárpar kata jug cale geche Mánasa jamuná shukáiyá geche Tumi ásile ná báṋshii bájále ná Dhvani jágále ná vishva gagane Tomár apúrńa kájke púrńa Kariba ámará tomári smarańe	কৃষ্ণমুরারি বাঁশরী তোমারই জাগাইয়া ছিলো জড়ে চেতনে মদুর ভাবেতে মধুর হাসিতে মধুর ছন্দে মধুর চরণে তারপর কত যুগ চলে গেছে মানস-যমুনা শুকাইয়া গেছে তুমি আসিলে না বাঁশী বাজালে না ধ্বনি জাগালে না বিশ্বগগনে তোমার অপূর্ণ কাজকে পূর্ণ করিব আমরা তোমারই স্মরণে	O Krśńa, slayer of demons,^{[nb 2]} Your flute once awakened through sweet ideas, smile, rhythm and step all living and nonliving entities in this world. How much time has passed since then? The mental Jamuna^{[nb 3]} has meanwhile dried up. You did not come, You did not play Your flute, and You did not resonate sound into the ethereal world. The completion of Your unfinished work Will we do in memory of You.

^ Murá (মুরা) was the general of King Narakasura, who attacked Dvaraka, the capital of Krśńa's kingdom. According to legend, on the day before Diipavali (the new-moon day of the month of Karttik, roughly mid-October to mid-November), Krśńa's wife, Satyabhámá, defeated and killed Narakasura. However, Krśńa is credited with the slaying of Narakasura's general, Murá. Hence, Krśńa is sometimes referred to as Murári (মুরারি), the enemy of killer of Murá. According to mythology, both Narakasura and Murá were demons. So, murári may be loosely translated as "slayer of demons".
^ The river Jamuna is closely associated with the story of Krsna in his early life as Vraja Gopal. On the stormy night of Krsna's birth, the Jamuna is said to have parted and made way for Krsna's father, Vasudeva, carrying Krsna to safety. Moreover, Krsna and his childhood friends used to play on the banks of the Jamuna.
