Nil Akasher Megher Phanke

Composed on Aug. 27th, 1974

Lyrics:

Nil akasher megher phanke
Oi heri kar alo tari
Sethai amai jete habe
Sakal byetha baran kari
Maran majhe pete habe
Maran hiner asha alo
Prabhur lagi tyaji e pran
Guchabo mor sakal kalo

Translation:

Whose light-boat does my vision capture
   In the flights of clouds?Accepting all pangs of the world
I shall have to appear there
   In the heart of death.
I must receive the hope-light of the deathless world.
I shall sacrifice my life for my Beloved Supreme
   And end my life of ignorance-night.
