Lyrics

Ke diyechhe more chapal paran 
Ashanti ghor byetha aphuran
Moha karagar bhiti parabar
Abachetanar bhrukuti pathar
Pabo ki go kabhu taba sandhan         
Ogo amarar debata pashan

Translation

Who has given me this restless vital,
Dark unrest and endless suffering?
In the prison cell of attachment
And in the ocean of fear,
I hear the wild laughter of inconscience.
Will I ever discover You, O Lord?
To me You are nothing but a stone-hearted God
Who never descends 
And who always remains in the ecstasy-life 
   of Heaven.
