Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Tomár e ki bhálabásár riiti
Patha páne ceye kata din geche
Geche kata vinidra ráti

Shishir sikta avacetanáy
Námhárá phul gandha eláy
Sandhyábeláy máyá lálimáy
Kii avaheláy jhare paŕe jáy
Sab bhálabásá rauṋe ráuṋá áshá
Bhule gele kon kuhake máti

Ogo bedaradii e kon máyáy
Phulad́ore tumi báṋdhile ámáy
Bhulite ceyeo bhulite párini
Padadhvani áshe rákhi kán páti

তোমার এ কি ভালবাসার রীতি
পথ পানে চেয়ে কত দিন গেছে
গেছে কত বিনিদ্র রাতি

শিশির সিক্ত অবচেতনায়
নামহারা ফুল গন্ধ এলায়
সন্ধ্যাবেলায় মায়া লালিমায়
কী অবহেলায় ঝরে পড়ে যায়
সব ভালবাসা রঙে রাঙা আশা
ভুলে গেলে কোন কুহকে মাতি

ওগো বেদরদী এ কোন মায়ায়
ফুলডোরে তুমি বাঁধিলে আমায়
ভুলিতে চেয়েও ভুলিতে পারিনি
পদধ্বনি আশে রাখি কাণ পাতি

What is this style of love that's Yours?
Avidly awaiting Thee, so many days have passed;
So many sleepless nights elapsed!

Into my dew-drenched subconscious mind
Seeps the scent of an unfamiliar flower.[nb 2]
With the rosy lure of sunset,
From negligence, it falls aside.
All love-tinged expectation
Succumbs to the frenzy of illusion.

Callous Lord, what is this maya of Yours?
With a strand of flowers, myself You bound.
Even wanting to forget, I cannot neglect;
In hope of Your footstep, I keep ear to ground.

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ This line is from a poem in Rabindranath Tagore's novel, Shesher Kabita (The Last Poem), written in 1928. (See here.) Tagore's work is a love story with an unusual end, suggesting a conflict of desire, spiritual versus material. As Sarkar had great appreciation for Tagore and was familiar with his works, the parallels between this song and that novel cannot be ignored.
