Tamasa Rate Nayan Pate

```

Tamasa rate nayan pate

Herile jadi amar pane

Apan kare amai laho

He dayamoy karuna dane

Tomar ami abodh shishu

Ekla chali gahan pathe

Duhate more jariye dharo

Bhasiye jena na jai srote

```

Translation

```

In the dark and dense night,

You cast Your benign Eyes upon me.

Take me and make me Your very own,

Offering Your Compassion.

I am Your innocent child.

Alone do I walk on a thick, dense path.

With Your two Arms, embrace me.

Allow me not to be drowned and washed away

By the turbulent currents of life. ```
