Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Niiláiṋjana áṋkiyá nayane Tákáiyá ácho niilákáshe Kár kathá áji mane bháse (balo) Mańipadmer cetaná vediite Jhauṋkár tola kii se áshe (tumi) Atiiter kathá elo ki smarańe Atiiter giiti jágilo rańane Ke se gariśt́ha ke se bariśt́ha Je bá nilo t́háṋi hrdákáshe Anáhateri dhvanivyaiṋjaná Mathita karilo sakala dhárańá Siimábandhan t́ut́iyá pheliyá Man bhese gelo cidákáshe	নীলাঞ্জন আঁকিয়া নয়নে তাকাইয়া আছো নীলাকাশে কার কথা আজি মনে ভাসে (বলো) মণিপদ্মের চেতনা-বেদীতে ঝঙ্কার তোল কী সে আশে (তুমি) অতীতের কথা এলো কি স্মরণে অতীতের গীতি জাগিলো রণনে কে সে গরিষ্ঠ কে সে বরিষ্ঠ যে বা নিলো ঠাঁই হৃদাকাশে অনাহতেরই ধ্বনিব্যঞ্জনা মথিত করিলো সকল ধারণা সীমাবন্ধন টুটিয়া ফেলিয়া মন ভেসে গেলো চিদাকাশে	Lining Your eyes with blue kohl, You cast Your gaze at azure sky; Please say whom You think of today? On muladhara's^{[nb 2]} altar of consciousness, With what hope do You evoke stridulation?^{[nb 3]} Did You recall some happening of yesteryear, An ancient song revived with a strum? Who is so great, so magnificent, That in Your mindsky^{[nb 4]} he could reside? The resounding gong^{[nb 5]} at anáhata, It churned all my concentration. Discarding shackles of the finite, My mind floated in Your mind's sky.^{[nb 6]}

Notes

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ One of many names for the múládhára cakra, the lowermost plexus according to tantra, is mańipadma.
^ In Tantric practice, when the kuńd́alinii (serpentine force) crosses the múládhára cakra, there comes the feeling of sálokya. ("I am not alone; the Lord may be a bit distant, but He is with me.") Along with that feeling, the stridulation of crickets may be heard.^[3]
^ The uncommon term, hrdákásha (হৃদাকাশ), is quite similar in meaning to cidákásha in the last line of this song. Perhaps there is a slightly greater sense of love in respect to the former term. For more information, see Note 6 below.
^ The sound heard upon mastery of the anáhata cakra, the sidereal plexus (sometimes referred to as the yogic heart), is that of a large gong or the roaring of the sea. The feeling that comes at that stage is sárúpya. ("Not only is the Lord very close to me, but I see Him in every particle of the universe.")^[4]
^ According to the Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary, cidákásha (চিদাকাশ) has multiple meanings, all of them pertinent here. In its loose but popular sense, the word simply means the canvas or firmament of mind. However, this line effectively establishes the broader meaning of cidákásha as the Supreme Entity, conceived as a placid and indifferent sky as well as the mind itself.
