Nayan nehare bishwa bhuvan

/Nayan nehare bishwa bhuvan/
/Herena tahar pran/
/Tai ankhi duti ruddha kariya/
/Jogi kare tar dhyan/
/Shruti shudhu shune bahirer katha/
/Shunena oishi bani/
/Sangjata tai shrutire kariche/
/Satya tapasa gyani/

The eye sees the entire world
But it sees not its own life;
Therefore, keeping the two eyes closed
The Yogi meditates on You,
O Lord Supreme.
The ear hears only
The messages and the clamour of the outer world.
It hears not the messages
Of the highest Heaven;
Therefore, the true seeker of wisdom
Always tries to keep his ears
Under his perfect control.
