Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Ajáná pathik alakár kathá Shońáo bárek káche ese Niilábhrer niiháriká kańá Kon ajánáy jáy bhese Jáhá dekhe tháki táhái ki t́hik Jáhá náhi dekhi sabi ki aliik Kont́á satyi kont́á mithye Ki chilo atiite geche khase^{[nb 2]} Shástre já áche apaoruśeya Shástre já nái táhái ki heya Múl prashner múl uttar Diye jáo manete base	অজানা পথিক অলকার কথা শোণাও বারেক কাছে এসে' নীলাভ্রের নীহারিকা কণা কোন্‌ অজানায় যায় ভেসে' যাহা দেখে' থাকি তাহাই কি ঠিক যাহা নাহি দেখি সবই কি অলীক কোনটা সত্যি কোনটা মিথ্যে কি ছিল অতীতে গেছে খসে' শাস্ত্রে যা' আছে অপৌরুষেয় শাস্ত্রে যা' নাই তাহাই কি হেয় মূল প্রশ্নের মূল উত্তর দিয়ে যাও মনেতে বসে'	Unknown Traveler, Heaven's dictates, Once having come near, kindly explain. From dark-cloudy nebula a tiny grain Floats away to which strange place? What I keep witnessing, is only that okay; And what I do not see, is all of it vain? Which one is truth, which one is sham... What was in past, it has got scrapped. What resides in scripture, is it not man-made; And what's not in scripture, is the same thing base? Root of questioning and root of reply, Please do provide, seated in the mind.

Notes

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ In all versions earlier than the latest Bengali edition,^[2] the word bhese appears instead of khase. So we also hear bhese in the audio rendition. However, khase makes more sense and is hence preferred here.
