Phanki diye cheyechhilam karte tomai joy
Prabhu tomar sneha dhara halo apabyay
Andha mora andha hriday duar bandha
Ghor timire nachi pran taranir majhi
Nutan alo sathe madhur amar prate
Abar prabhu dio dekha ei dharanir buke
Daki jena tomai mora nitya sukhe dukhe
Dur karo aj moder praner klanti mithya bhoy
Phanki diye cheyechhilam karte tomai joy

I wanted to conquer You through deception.
Lord, all Your Affection and Love
   I have squandered.
All human beings are blind.
Our heart-doors are closed.
We dance in darkness tenebrous.
O Boatman of my life-boat,
Do come to me with new light
In the golden and sanctified morning.
O Lord, do appear once more before me.
Here on earth may I invoke You once again
Through ever-new sorrows and delight.
Today especially, O Lord,
Drive away all falsehood and fear from me.
Alas, I wanted to conquer You through deception,
By deceiving You.
