Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Candanavarńá Se priiti je melechilo pákhá Mádhurii aparńá Tabuo se geche eká eká Asiima ákáshe jethá cái Se baláká dekhite ná pái Siimáhárá rúpe bhará se je Mandrita madhurase mákhá Se atiite ájo kay kathá Bhávátiita tári vyákulatá Alakár se svarńalatá Juktite náhi jáy d́háká	চন্দনবর্ণা সে প্রীতি যে মেলেছিল পাখা মাধুরী অপর্ণা তবুও সে গেছে একা একা অসীম আকাশে যেথা চাই সে বলাকা দেখিতে না পাই সীমাহারা রূপে ভরা সে যে মন্দ্রিত মধুরসে মাখা সে অতীতে আজও কয় কথা ভাবাতীতে তারই ব্যাকুলতা অলকার সে স্বর্ণলতা যুক্তিতে নাহি যায় ঢাকা	Sandalwood-painted Is the love that had spread wing. A sweetness naked, And yet gone off alone has she. Where I gaze in the boundless heavens, That crane I just fail to see. She is limitless and filled with beauty, Coated with resounding sweetness. Even now that one past tells a tale, Her eagerness, beyond imagination. She is angelic, that love-in-a-puff;^{[nb 2]} With reason she does not get veiled.

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ Literally, svarńalatá means "golden creeper". However, this is a Bengali name for one specific plant, the Cardiospermum halicacabum, also known as love in a puff. Another name for the same plant in both Samskrta and Bengali is jyotiśmatii, also meaning bright or lustrous.
