Gabhir asha prane amar
    Ekti shudhu gabhir asha
Mayer kachhe pabo ami
    Bishwajayer bhalobasa
Mayer sena habo ami
    Habo mayer drashta kabi
Rup sagare bhasbe jani
    Amar hiyar gyanarabi

There is only one hope,
One hope inside my heart.
From You I shall get
The world-conquering Love.
With Your Love and Affection
I shall become Your seer-poet.
My knowledge-sun will blossom
    above the horizon
On the sea of Your translucent Beauty,
    O Mother.
