Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Calár pathe eta káṋt́á
Kena táhá bujhi ná to
(Ámár) káṋt́á toláy je samay jáy
Calár káje lege jeta

Thákle bádhá purobháge
Shuni táte shakti jáge
Man bhare jáy tomár ráge
Tái bujhi dáo bádhá eta

Áṋdhár jadi ná thákita
Álor kadar ke bujhita
Duhkhe tápe vyatháhata
Man bojhe ánanda kata

চলার পথে এত কাঁটা
কেন তাহা বুঝি না তো
(আমার) কাঁটা তোলায় যে সময় যায়
চলার কাজে লেগে’ যেত

থাকলে বাধা পুরোভাগে
শুণি তাতে শক্তি জাগে
মন ভরে’ যায় তোমার রাগে
তাই বুঝি দাও বাধা এত

আঁধার যদি না থাকিত
আলোর কদর কে বুঝিত
দুঃখে তাপে ব্যথাহত
মন বোঝে আনন্দ কত

So many thorns on the footpath...
Why is that, I don't grasp.
My time that goes in clearing thorns
Could have been used for doing work.

When obstructions come in the lead,
That wakens power, so I hear.
With Your zeal the mind gets filled;
Mayhap that's why You give so many obstacles.

If darkness were not present,
Light's worth, who would comprehend?
With pain and sorrow distressed,
Mind understands joy's abundance.
