Ami amar mukti bhanu
Hiyar mahotsabe
Ami amar andha nisha
Maner kalarabe
Ami amar atma sudha
Purna loker smriti
Ami amar ushar marur
Dhangsa chhayar priti

I am my liberation-sun
In the great festival of hearts.
I am my blind night
In the clamour of my mind.
I am my soul-nectar
And my memories of perfection-light.
I am my barren desert
And my love of destruction-shadow.
