Jante chaha kothai ami jai
Jante chaha kothai amar thai
Jante chaha amar hiyar rup
Jante chaha kothai premer dhup
Barai thikna tomar prashna ban
Taito ami rahi mriyaman

You want to know where I go.
You want to know where I stay.
You want to know how much beauty
   My heart has.
You want to know where I keep
My love-incense-purity.
Your questions are arrows of destruction
   Hurled at me.
As a last resort, I am compelled to lead
The life of a lifeless soul.
