Shiiter káṋpuni niye ele
Ke go tumi
E kii tava sundaratá
Tuśáre d́hákiyá shyámabhúmi
Ke go tumi
E kii tava madhuratá
Kankane utture váye
Pátájhará pathataru gáye
Likhe dile ajáná kii váńii
Háy tava e kii diinatá
E kii tava krpańatá
Jhaŕ jhaiṋjháy práń káṋpiye
Latápátá sab shobhá háriye
Geye jáy ajáná kii giiti
Bhálabásá májhe e kii nirmamatá
Bringing winter shivers, You appeared...
Oh, Who are You,
And what is this, Your beauty?
Shrouding with snow the green fields,
Oh, Who are You,
And what is this, Your sweetness?
With a biting northern wind
On leafless roadside-tree bodies,
What unknown maxim have You writ...
Oh, what is this, Your indigence,
What is this, Your stinginess?
With blizzards setting hearts aquiver,
All herbs and creepers losing glamor,
What unknown song is getting sung;
Amid the love what is this callousness?
