Lyrics

Jago Jago Bharater Rishi Kabi Jago naba rupe gyana parabar jagater ashar tamasar pran vedi jago priya jyotir adhar sanchita punjita dharanir glani shata parashe tomar hok khoi oishi labani ani kurupa e dhara khani karo priya sucharu akkhoi

Translation

Awake, awake, O seer poet of Mother Ind,
O world haven, awake in your new form, knowledge sea.
Piering the heart of ignorance,
Awake, O beloved, O source of light.
May your silence touch transform the long accrued
imperfection night into the light of dawn.
Bring down your lustre light 
And illumine this unlit world
And make it beauty immutable.
