All of the news from very far—
All of the news from very far—
It is coursing through me
Through me it is coursing,
And inscribed upon my feathers.
And it's inscribed on my feathers.


On a dreamy night by the moon's light,
On a dreamy night by the moon's light,
I ascend into blue sky.
I ascend into a blue sky.
When flowers laugh in a heavy wind,
When flowers laugh in heavy winds,
It's with their grin I make connection.
It's with their grin I make connection.
Never do I lose my way,
At no time I lose my way,
For with me my Lord does remain,
For with me my Lord, He remains,
A bosom friend in storms of dust and rain.
A bosom friend in storms of dust and rain.


Across the heavens drifts a brilliant beauty;
Across the heavens drifts a brilliant beauty;
In that lightstream I go on sailing.
On that lightstream I go sailing.
Eyelids dark, on my flightpath there's no sleep;
Eyelids dark, on the flightpath there is no sleep;
Toward the nest I gaze continuously.
Toward nest I gaze continuously.
The One with Whom I am enamored,
The One with Whom I am enamored,
It is He, Who is my co-traveler;
It is He, Who's my co-traveler;
Unaccompanied am I never.
Unaccompanied am I never.

Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

(Ámi) Dúr niilimár baláká
Sudúrer váńii jata
Mor májhe otaprota
Pátáy pátáy lekhá

Svapnila nishiithe cáṋder álor sáthe
Niilákáshe uŕiyá beŕái
Mandrila vátáse phúlerá jakhan háse
Se hásite jog dite jái (ámi)
Hárái ná path kabhu
Sáthe tháke mor prabhu
Áṋdhi tupháneri sakhá

Maiṋjula mahákáshe álor lávańi bháse
Tári srote ámi bhese jái
Aiṋjula áṋkhipáte niṋd náhi nabhopathe
Niiŕ páne satata tákái
Jáke niye mátámáti
Se je sadá mor sáthii
Kakhano tháki ná eká

(আমি) দূর নীলিমার বলাকা
সুদূরের বাণী যত
মোর মাঝে ওতপ্রোত
পাতায় পাতায় লেখা

স্বপ্নিল নিশীথে চাঁদের আলোর সাথে
নীলাকাশে উড়িয়া বেড়াই
মন্দ্রিল বাতাসে ফুলেরা যখন হাসে
সে হাসিতে যোগ দিতে যাই (আমি)
হারাই না পথ কভু
সাথে থাকে মোর প্রভু
আঁধি-তুফানেরই সখা

মঞ্জুল মহাকাশে আলোর লাবণি ভাসে
তারই স্রোতে আমি ভেসে যাই
অঞ্জুল আঁখিপাতে নিঁদ নাহি নভোপথে
নীড় পানে সতত তাকাই
যাকে নিয়ে মাতামাতি
সে যে সদা মোর সাথী
কখনো থাকি না একা

I am a goose[nb 2] of yon azure;
All of the news from very far—
Through me it is coursing,
And it's inscribed on my feathers.

On a dreamy night by the moon's light,
I ascend into a blue sky.
When flowers laugh in heavy winds,
It's with their grin I make connection.
At no time I lose my way,
For with me my Lord, He remains,
A bosom friend in storms of dust and rain.

Across the heavens drifts a brilliant beauty;
On that lightstream I go sailing.
Eyelids dark, on the flightpath there is no sleep;
Toward nest I gaze continuously.
The One with Whom I am enamored,
It is He, Who's my co-traveler;
Unaccompanied am I never.

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ According to the Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary, baláká (বলাকা) is a female of "a kind of small goose capable of flying high". It could also mean "a flight of geese". However, the word has been loosely translated as "stork" or "swan". Perhaps of interest, the current logo of Biman Bangladesh Airlines is a stylized white baláká in flight within a red circle.
