With Great Joy In The New Year...

WITH GREAT JOY IN THE NEW YEAR

Our hearts are awakening.

Let the hearts of all Bengalis

Become one, great and vast.

Bengal is not two, Bengal is not divided;

In one Bengal, let the world-love abide.

The torture of the undivine hostile forces

Creates false fear in the heart of Bengal.

A tenebrous night will blossom into beauty's day.

The sun of wisdom-light will dawn.

The golden Bengal, the immortal Bengal,

Will once more see the Light of the Infinite.

In the heart of the New Year

The liberation-hope will feed us.

We shall once more receive the silence-language

Of Immortality

From the Aryan sages of the hoary past.
