Lyrics

Amito tomare dakina chahina 
Tabu kena more dakicho 
Amito tomare dibona amai
Tabu kena bhalobasicho 
Jani ami jani taba kripa ankhi 
Khamibe amar amire 
Tabu kena hai nirabadhi rahi 
Moher nishar gabhire

Translation

I do not need You.
Yet why do You need me?
You know well that I shall not surrender
  my earth-existence to You.
Yet, why do You love me?
I know Your Compassion-Eye.
You forgive my little 'i'.
Alas, why do I always remain in the heart 
  of blind darkness-night?
