Pathe jakhan chali Shyama Tui je chalis sathe sathe Prati kajer phanke phanke Ma tor parash mile dinerate Tabu bhabi shyama bujhi Amai chereche Kandar mato kandina tai Dure rekheche
Mother Kali, when I walk along the street I see You accompanying me. At the interval of each new undertaking I feel Your gracious presence. All day and night Your presence envelops me, Yet I know not why I feel You have deserted me. Is it because I do not cry soulfully That I feel You are away from me?
