Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
(Kánu binu) Tháká náhi jáy Se je maramer májhe jhalakáy Divánishi táṋr báṋshi Prati pale práńe pashi Bale more bhálabási Táito d́áki tomáy Jiivan jamuná mor Tári bhávete vibhor Jujhiyá kuhelii ghor Ujánete dháy shatadháy	(কানু বিনু) থাকা নাহি যায় সে যে মরমের মাঝে ঝলকায় দিবানিশি তাঁর বাঁশী প্রতি পলে প্রাণে পশি' বলে মোরে ভালবাসি তাইতো ডাকি তোমায় জীবন-যমুনা মোর তারই ভাবেতে বিভোর যুঝিয়া কুহেলী ঘোর উজানেতে ধায় শতধায়	Staying without Kanu^{[nb 2]} does not succeed; The One Who glitters within heart is He. Day and night His reed pipe, Every moment penetrating life, Tells me: "Cherish do I, And so I summon thee." My Jamuna of existence, By only His rumination overwhelmed, Contending with a mist dark and dense, In a hundred ways it races upstream.
