: Thank you. It is a good question. In the Bengali edition, from which I mostly type out the lyrics and derive the Roman script, we find "দেখি নিকো". But "দেখিনিকো" seems to be the more common construction. Though it is clearly a negation, নিকো is not a standalone word that I find in any dictionary. The big question I have is whether it also changes the tense from present to past tense... or does the negation become an interrogatory (possibly just rhetorical)?

: With the present tense, the first two lines of that verse come out as: "Opened are my eyes, but I don't see How much You are my very own." With the past tense, they would be: "Open were my eyes, but I saw not How much You are my very own." And as a rhetorical question, it would be: "Opened are my eyes, but do/did I see How much You are my very own?" In your opinion, which one is more accurate? --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 01:56, 28 April 2018 (BST)

দেখি নিকো

Is the word "দেখি নিকো" or "দেখিনিকো" on the lyrics page? Regards. --Tito☸Dutta 21:19, 27 April 2018 (BST)

Thank you. It is a good question. In the Bengali edition, from which I mostly type out the lyrics and derive the Roman script, we find "দেখি নিকো". But "দেখিনিকো" seems to be the more common construction. Similarly, in other songs we see "ভাবি নিকো", "ভুলি নিকো", "পারি নিকো", "চাহি নিকো", "করি নিকো", and even "ফোটে নিকো". Though I am not an authority on this matter, নিকো clearly works similar to নি and না... like other verb suffixes that negate. Hence, it seems that নিকো is more commonly appended to the verb rather than applied after the verb as a standalone word. In the Bengali Prabhat Samgiita books, word spellings and constructions tend to vary quite a bit. Sorting out all of the inconsistencies is beyond my capacity at this time; however, sometimes I do take the liberty to join words... for example, I occasionally convert এত দিন to এতদিন or ভালো বাসি to ভালোবাসি. Do you think that this is such a case... that দেখি নিকো must be দেখিনিকো? --Abhidevananda (talk) 01:56, 28 April 2018 (BST)
