Aamar dukher rate ele probhu, shukher dine ele na
Aañkhir jole dhora dile, phañkir chhole bhulle na.
Shukher dine ele na.
Boshonteri phuler dalay, shajiye rakha pujarchanay,
Orgho dite paini tomay, jeche nile bedonay
Shukher dine ele na.
Hashir khelay, aalor melay, paini tomay khushir belay,
Nirandhro ei amanishay, pelum tabo koruna.
Shukher dine ele na.

Translation:
You visited me on the painful nights, but did not come to share my joys.
You could not be known by the trickery of intellect but by the tears of heart alone.
The spring brought the beauty of flowers; I prepared Items for your worship,
You could not be realized with any offerings,
but only with sincere surrender of the anguished heart.
In the frivolous playfulness and glittering, I did not seek You.
Yet I received Your grace, on the darkest night of the new moon.
