Man Daoni Mani

```

Man daoni mani

Apaman je maner sathe

Karchhe tanatani

Dan daoni data

Nitya jena tomar paye

Thake amar matha

Ja diyechho na chahite

Taito tomar bani

Eso amar hriday dale

Eso hriday rani

```

Translation

```

O Queen of my heart,

You have not given me signal honour.

I know perfectly well that dishonour and honour

Are inseparable.

O Queen of my heart, they live together

and pull me towards them.

O Queen of bounty,

You have not given me Your Wealth.

Nevertheless I wish to keep my head

always at Your Feet.

Whatever You have given me

Is nothing short of Your Message-Light.

Do come into my lotus-heart and occupy it,

O Queen of my heart.

```
