Tava krpá biná ámár tarańii
Akúle bhásiyá caliyá jáy
Kona kathá ámi shuńite cáhini
Kona jiṋán ámi páite cáhini
Shudhu cáhi tumi kácht́ite eso
Duhát báŕáye dharibo páy

Karmer dambhake bhay kari
Jiṋáner asmitá sahite ná pári
(Tái) Niirave ásiyá kácht́ite baso
Práptir sukhe sudhá jharáy (jena)

Tomátei karma tomátei jiṋán
Tomáke páile saba páoyá jáy


Without Your mercy, my ship,
On a shoreless sea it sails adrift.
I've not wanted to hear any words;
I've not wanted to get any wisdom...
I just want You to arrive adjacent;
Having spread both arms, I'll catch a leg.

I do fear the vanity of action;
I can't bear the haughtiness of wisdom.
So, coming quietly, sit in my vicinity
That with acquisition's joy, ambrosia secretes.

Action is with You only, wisdom is with You only;
On attaining Thee, everything gets received.
