Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Candan mákhá dúr niiháriká
Kii jena kahiyá jáy
Kán pete shono táy
(Bale) Anek dekhechi anek shunechi
Táte hiyá jhalakáy

Já kichu dekhechi já kichu shunechi
Beshiir bhág tár bhuliyá giyáchi
E siimita jiṋáne sei bhagaváne
Dharite párá ná jáy

Mahániilimáy járá bhese jáy
Práńer paráge spandan cáy
Spandan áse chot́e dúrákáshe
Káche pete dvidhá táy

চন্দন-মাখা দূর নীহারিকা
কী যেন কহিয়া যায়
কান পেতে শোন তায়
(বলে) অনেক দেখেছি অনেক শুনেছি
তাতে হিয়া ঝলকায়

যা’ কিছু দেখেছি যা’ কিছু শুনেছি
বেশীর ভাগ তার ভুলিয়া গিয়াছি
এ সীমিত জ্ঞানে সেই ভগবানে
ধরিতে পারা না যায়

মহানীলিমায় যারা ভেসে’ যায়
প্রাণের পরাগে স্পন্দন চায়
স্পন্দন আসে ছোটে দূরাকাশে
কাছে পেতে দ্বিধা তায়

The far-off, sandal-coated nebula,
What does it keep saying?
To it, let us listen in.
It says: "Much I've seen, much I've heard;
In that a heart flashes.

"Whatever I have seen or heard,
Most of it I have forgotten.
Per this knowledge limited, to that Bhagavan
It's not possible to hold on.

"Those who go afloat upon the blue heavens,
Through life's pollen they yearn for vibration.
But vibration, it starts racing on the remote firmament;
And to find it close, therein lies a dilemma."
