Krśńamurári báṋsharii tomári Jágáiyá chilo jaŕe cetane Madhura bhávete madhura hásite Madhura chande madhura carańe Tárpar kata jug cale geche Mánasa jamuná shukáiyá geche Tumi ásile ná báṋshii bájále ná Dhvani jágále ná vishva gagane Tomár apúrńa kájke púrńa Karibo ámará tomári smarańe	কৃষ্ণমুরারি বাঁশরী তোমারই জাগাইয়া ছিলো জড়ে চেতনে মধুর ভাবেতে মধুর হাসিতে মধুর ছন্দে মধুর চরণে তারপর কত যুগ চলে গেছে মানস-যমুনা শুকাইয়া গেছে তুমি আসিলে না বাঁশী বাজালে না ধ্বনি জাগালে না বিশ্বগগনে তোমার অপূর্ণ কাজকে পূর্ণ করিব আমরা তোমারই স্মরণে	Krsna, slayer of demons,^{[nb 2]} Your flute Once awakened dormant consciousness To sweet thoughts, sweet expressions, Sweet penchants, and sweet practices. Since then, so many years^{[nb 3]} have passed; The mental Jamuna^{[nb 4]} has run dry. You did not come; Your flute did not ring out— Its tune did not stir heaven and earth. The completion of Your unfinished work Will we do remembering You.

^ Murá (মুরা) was a general of King Narakasura, who attacked Dvaraka, the capital of Krśńa's kingdom. According to legend, on the day before Diipavali (the new-moon day of the month of Karttik, roughly mid-October to mid-November), Krśńa's wife, Satyabhámá, defeated and killed Narakasura. However, Krśńa is credited with the earlier slaying of Narakasura's general, Murá. Hence, Krśńa is sometimes referred to as Murári (মুরারি). According to mythology, both Narakasura and Murá were demons. So, murári may be loosely translated as "slayer of demons".
^ A jug or juga (যুগ) may denote an era or age, or it may denote a period of twelve years. Generally, it is used to imply a long period of time.
^ The river Jamuna is closely associated with the story of Krsna in his early life as Vraja Gopal. On the stormy night of Krsna's birth, the Jamuna is said to have parted and made way for Krsna's father, Vasudeva, carrying Krsna to safety. Moreover, Krsna and his childhood friends used to play on the banks of the Jamuna.
