Ma ma bale dakre o man ma ma bale dak
Shyama mayer charan tale shaber mato pare thak
Mundamali shyama amar kande shib shaber buke
Sab haye jai shiber mato kandisna ar praner dukhe

O my mind, cry,
Uttering the name Mother, Mother.
Lie down at the feet of the Mother Kali
Like a vanquished corpse.
My Mother Kali is dancing
On the heart of Her divine consort, Shiva,
   In enormous mirth.
I, too, like my Mother,
Shall dance and sport eternally.
