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 swan^{[nb 2]} of yon azure; All of the news from very far, Through me it is delivered, Inscribed upon my feathers. On a dreamy night by the moon's light, I ascend into blue sky. When flowers laugh in a heavy wind, It's with their grin I make connection. Never do I lose my way, For with me my Lord does remain, A bosom friend in storms of dust and rain. Across the heavens drifts a brilliant beauty; In that lightstream I go on sailing. Eyelids dark, on my flightpath there is no sleep; Toward the nest I gaze continuously. The One with Whom I am enamored, It is He, Who is my co-traveler; Unaccompanied am I never.

Notes

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ 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.
