Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Prabhu mama priyatama (Chút́i tomáy pete) eklá pathe Kastúriimrga sama he dúratama (Álo jhará práte) áṋdhára nisháte Cená pathe pathe háráno marute Ácho sáthe sáthe tabu chút́i pete Áleyári piche e kii bhrama mama Prabhu mama nikat́atama	প্রভু মম প্রিয়তম (ছুটি তোমায় পেতে) একলা পথে কস্তুরীমৃগ সম হে দূরতম (আলো ঝরা প্রাতে) আঁধার নিশাতে চেনা পথে পথে হারানো মরুতে আছো সাথে সাথে তবু ছুটি পেতে আলেয়ারই পিছে এ কী ভ্রম মম প্রভু মম নিকটতম	Oh Lord, my dearest, I run after You down lonesome roads, Like the muskdeer,^{[nb 2]} oh Most Remote. You are so near. On dark moon nights under moonless skies along known paths or lost desert ways, You are near. Yet i seek you mistakenly chasing a mirage while you dearest remain so near.

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ In yogic scriptures and commentaries, there is an oft-told fable about a musk deer who searches the world over for the source of the intoxicating fragrance that is coming from the deer's own self. The moral of the story is that happiness is to be found within and not without.
