Tumi jadi hat dharo
Jabo pare chale
Ta nahale kata byatha
Pabo pale pale
Simahine sima majhe
Jadi nahi pai
Kanta bane keno balo
Shudhu asi jai

If You clasp my hand
I shall reach the shore.
If not, at every moment,
Excruciating pangs shall torture my heart.
If I do not see You and have You
In the Infinite and the finite
Why do You ask me to come again and again
Into this world beset with difficulty-thorns?
