```

/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.
