Phanki diye cheyechhilam karte tomai joy Prabhu tomar sneha dhara halo apabyay Andha mora andha hriday duar bandha Ghor timire nachi pran taranir majhi Nutan alo sathe madhur amar prate Abar prabhu dio dekha ei dharanir buke Daki jena tomai mora nitya sukhe dukhe Dur karo aj moder praner klanti mithya bhoy Phanki diye cheyechhilam karte tomai joy
I wanted to conquer You through deception. Lord, all Your Affection and Love I have squandered. All human beings are blind. Our heart-doors are closed. We dance in darkness tenebrous. O Boatman of my life-boat, Do come to me with new light In the golden and sanctified morning. O Lord, do appear once more before me. Here on earth may I invoke You once again Through ever-new sorrows and delight. Today especially, O Lord, Drive away all falsehood and fear from me. Alas, I wanted to conquer You through deception, By deceiving You.
