Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Prabhu tumi elei jakhan Kena eta karle derii Tomár ásá patha ceye Kata jug je geche ámári Bhálo jadi báste jáno Liilákhelá karo kena Paráń bhare cái tomáre Jenei dite carańtarii Tomár áshe dine ráte Chinu ámi shravań pete Áshá niráshár doláte Duliye ele krpá kari	প্রভু তুমি এলেই যখন কেন এত করলে দেরী তোমার আসা পথ চেয়ে কত যুগ যে গেছে আমারই ভালো যদি বাসতে জানো লীলাখেলা করো কেন পরাণ ভরে চাই তোমারে জেনেই দিতে চরণতরী তোমার আশে দিনে রাতে ছিনু আমি শ্রবণ পেতে আশা নিরাশার দোলাতে দুলিয়ে এলে কৃপা করি	Lord, whilst You even came, Why'd You make so much delay? Watching the path where You arrive, For me, many ages, they went by. When You know how to love, Why'd You make a playful sport? With all my heart I long for Thee, To receive the ferry of Your feet.^{[nb 2]} Expecting You day and night, Ear to the ground was I. After dangling hope and despair, At long last, You kindly came.

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ In the Garuda Purana the Guru's feet (the Guru's guidance) are likened to a boat that carries the deceased across the mythological Vaitarna River. On the journey, all sins are washed away. The notion of Guru's feet as a boat, as a ferry across the ocean of máyá or worldly involvement, is carańtarii (চরণতরী).
