Kotha tumi bahudin
    Moder hriday bin
Nahi baje priya ar
    Eso phire arbar
Tomar amar bani
    Habena byartha jani
Eso phire eso phire
    Taba tanu mandire

Where have you been for such a long time?
The violin of my heart does not
Produce any tune.
O, do come back once more.
Your Message and my message
   Will bear fruit.
We shall not fail each other.
O my soul, come back, come back,
To the temple of your body.
