Chetana amar bedana
Bedana amar eshana
Eshana amar oishi karuna
Ami mor bidhatar bandana
Chetana amar bidhatar jaya nishan
Agyanatar rupantarer kripan

My consciousness is all sorrow.
Sorrow is my aspiration-flame.
My aspiration is Your Heavenly Compassion.
I am my Lord’s eternal worship.
My consciousness shall be
     My Lord’s Victory-Banner
And the sword for the transformation
     Of my nature.
