Amar hriday pakhire pushibe

Amar ashru kanna rodhibe

Amar chapal parane khamibe

Amar khudita jibane tushibe

Ogo premamoy jani ami jani

Tabu kena hai taba prane hani

Bhule jai taba sudhamoy bani

Andhiyar ghore buke mor tani

```

```

You will keep and feed

My heart-bird.

You will stop my heart’s pangs

And extinguish the tear-flames of my eyes.

You will satisfy my hungry life,

O Lord of Compassion.

I know all these and many more

And yet why do I torture You,

Your heart of Compassion-Light?

I completely forget

Your nectar message.

I draw into my heart

The measureless gloom of ignorance-night.
