Kata dure tumi niye jabe more asha Priya kata bhalobasa Tomar hiyar kusum kalite bhore Sanchoy kare dekhechho amar tore Juge juge shudhu tumi achho chira sathi Andhare ujjwal bati Jibane marane tomai smariya chali Paini je kul tareo jaoni chali Tumi achho tai achhe ei mukhe bhasha Rangin swapane dubiye rekhechho asha
O my hope, how far will You carry me? My Beloved Sweet, how much love and flower-fragrance Have You culled for me in my heart? For aeons You have been my Companion eternal. In my darkness-life You appear in Your Light’s Effulgence. I invoke You at the dawn of my life, During my life-course and at the end of my journey’s close. You neglect not even the one who is nowhere near the Shore. You exist; therefore I speak. O my hope, You have enveloped Yourself in my rainbow-dream.
