Damká haoyáy d́ák diye jáy
Dúrer pathe jete jete ajánáy
(Kena beṋdhe rákho) Balo tháko tháko
Theme jete balo ghareri końáy
(Maneri rájá ogo) Mane mátiye náo
Ámáke sab káje egiye jete dáo
Tomári prerańáy tomári preśańáy
Jiivan saritá mor jábe mohánáy
(Dhyánera rájá ogo) Dhyáne miliye náo
Smarańe manane more egiye dáo
Egiye caliboi phire ná tákáboi
Tomár sab káje sakala dháráy
Gusts of wind keep urging me
To travel a distant, unknown road.
Why tie me down, saying "Stay, stay",
Telling me to halt inside of my home?
Oh, Ruler of my Psyche, galvanize the mind;
Let me always move onward through all my deeds.
Only by Your inspiration and Your dispatch,
My stream of life shall flow unto the sea.
Oh, Lord of Dhyána,[nb 2] permeate my meditation;
Let my recollection and reflection be progressive.
I will ever go forward, I will never look back,
In all Your chores throughout the wide world.
