Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Mor náhi je samay Mor náhi je samay Tumi abeláy kena ele Ogo dayámay ei asamay Mor maner bakulerá jhariyá geche Shepháliir phul niice paŕiyá áche Diipádháre manodiip niviyá geche Tumi derii kare kena ele Ogo cinmaya ei asamay Mor sauṋgiirá sudúre háráyeche Bhálabásá kothá bhásiyá geche Mor áshár mukul sab shukáyeche Tabu mrdu hese kena ese páshe basile Tumi ogo manomay ei asamay	মোর নাহি যে সময় মোর নাহি যে সময় তুমি অবেলায় কেন এলে ওগো দয়াময় এই অসময় মোর মনের বকুলেরা ঝরিয়া গেছে শেফালীর ফুল নীচে পড়িয়া আছে দীপাধারে মনোদীপ নিবিয়া গেছে তুমি দেরী করে কেন এলে ওগো চিন্ময় এই অসময় মোর সঙ্গীরা সুদূরে হারায়েছে ভালবাসা কোথা ভাসিয়া গেছে মোর আশার মুকুল সব শুকায়েছে তবু মৃদু হেসে কেন এসে পাশে বসিলে তুমি ওগো মনোময় এই অসময়	I am out of time; No more time is mine. At close of day, why did You arrive? Oh, gracious Lord, this was ill-timed. The bakul blooms^{[nb 2]} of my mind have fallen down; My jasmine flowers^{[nb 3]} have dropped to the ground. On the lampstand, my mental candle has gone out. Having delayed, why did You arrive? Oh, Consciousness sublime, this was ill-timed. Lost to the great beyond are my companions; Love, to what place has it drifted off? My buds of hope, they have all shriveled up. Why then, with tender smile, did You come sit by my side? Hey, Ruler of the heart, this was ill-timed.
