Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Ketakii jágá varaśáy Paráge paráge surabhi bhásiyá jáy Dádur d́ákiche piyál vanete Ashani háse matta váyute Maner májháre iishán końete Megh náce kár bharasáy Júthikár reńu jale bhije jáy Rajaniigandhá káháre je cáy Vane upavane virale vijane Ke jena gán shonáy	কেতকী-জাগা বরষায় পরাগে পরাগে সুরভি ভাসিয়া যায় দাদুর ডাকিছে পিয়াল বনেতে অশনি হাসে মত্ত বায়ুতে মনের মাঝারে ঈশান কোণেতে মেঘ নাচে কার ভরসায় যূথিকার রেণু জলে ভিজে' যায় রজনীগন্ধা কাহারে যে চায় বনে উপবনে বিরলে বিজনে কে যেন গান শোনায়	A screwpine roused by rainfall, With each pollen-spore its fragrance goes sailing off. Frogs are croaking in the nut-tree forest; Lightning grins on frenzied wind. Amid the mind at northeast^{[nb 2]} corner, A cloud dances, at Whose expectation? Juhi dust gets drenched by water; For Whom does the tuberose yearn? In woodland and in garden, lonesome and secluded, Who there seems to sing a song?

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ Iishán is not only a direction but also a name of Shiva. This double meaning is not accidental. The song poignantly evokes a mythological story about a curse placed on the ketakii (screwpine) flower by Lord Shiva.
