Phanki Diye Cheyechhilam Karte

Phanki diye cheyechilam
Karte tomai jay
Prabhu tomar sneha dhara
Halo apabyay
Andha mora andha
Hriday duar bandha
Ghor timire nachi
Pran taranir majhi
Nutan alo sathe
Madhur amar prate
Abar prabhu dio dekha
Ei dharanir buke
Daki jena tomai mora
Nitya sukhe dukhe
Dur karo aj moder praner
Klanti mithya bhoi

Phanki diye cheyechilam
Karte tomai jay

I wanted to conquer You through deception.
Lord, all Your Affection and Love I have squandered.
All human beings are blind.
Our heart-doors are closed.
We dance in darkness tenebrous.
O Boatman of my life-boat,
Do come to me with new light
In the golden and sanctified morning.
O Lord, do appear once more before me.
Here on earth may I invoke You once again
Through ever-new sorrows and delight.
Today especially, O Lord,
Drive away all falsehood and fear from me.
Alas, I wanted to conquer You through deception,
By deceiving You.
