Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Gán geye jái tomáke shońái
Jiiver dukher kathá
Shońo náhi shońo tumi kii karite pári ámi
Ámi bujhiye jái vyákulatá

Álo áche dhará pare nei tá maner paŕe
Manete álo jválo he prabhu krpá kare
Ei anurodh shudhu he devatá

Srśt́i racecho tumi kalyáń bhávanáte
Sabáre shánti dáo tava chatracháyáte
Kena ei hánáháni ei chinimini khelá[nb 2]
D́hálo amrta varatá

গান গেয়ে যাই তোমাকে শোণাই
জীবের দুখের কথা
শোণ নাহি শোণ তুমি কী করিতে পারি আমি
আমি বুঝিয়ে যাই ব্যাকুলতা

আলো আছে ধরা ‘পরে নেই তা মনের ‘পরে
মনেতে আলো জ্বালো হে প্রভু কৃপা করে’
এই অনুরোধ শুধু হে দেবতা

সৃষ্টি রচেছ তুমি কল্যাণ-ভাবনাতে
সবারে শান্তি দাও তব ছত্রছায়াতে
কেন এই হানাহানি এই ছিনিমিনি খেলা
ঢালো অমৃত বারতা

A song I keep singing, I sing it to You,
A living being's doleful tale.
Whether You pay heed or not, what can I do?
I go on conveying the angst.

Light is there upon Earth, on mind there is none;
Kindle light in the mind, oh Lord be so gracious;
Hey the Deity, only this is my prayer.

The cosmos You have built with benign imagination;
Supply peace to everyone under Your protection.
Why this civil war, this game of ducks-and-drakes;
Please issue a nectar-like communique.

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ The Bengali source is inconsistent as to the order of the last three words of this line. This is a third possibility, more likely as it preserves the common Bengali syntax and offers a more consistent rhyme scheme.
