Andhakarer bakka chiri
Khulche ushar toran oi
Jaya dhwani kare sabe
Khoka khuki achhish koi
Arun ranga charan phele
Usha rani ese
Khelar chale anlo tene
Ajana ei deshe

Behold, tearing the heart of darkness,
     the door of dawn opens.
O children, where are you?
Sing, sing the divine glory.
The queen of dawn descends
     with her morning rays.
She has dragged me down
     into this world unknown.
