Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Alakár álo bhúloke d́hálo Dyuloker dyuti bhare tolo Vishvabhuvane agańita jane E karuńá tare vihvalo Kata kál dhare amánishá geche Krśńa kákári kut́il heseche Tumi ese priya álo jvele dio Prajiṋádhi pathe niye calo E púrńimáte tumi ek vidhu Bákirá táraká diipálok shudhu Cáṋde khadyote vinimay madhu^{[nb 2]} Kare cale priiti ucchala	অলকার আলো ভূলোকে ঢালো দ্যুলোকের দ্যুতি ভরে' তোলো বিশ্বভুবনে অগণিত জনে এ করুণা তরে বিহ্বল কত কাল ধরে' অমানিশা গেছে কৃষ্ণ কাকারি কুটিল হেসেছে তুমি এসে' প্রিয় আলো জ্বেলে' দিও প্রজ্ঞাধি-পথে নিয়ে চ'লো এ পূর্ণিমাতে তুমি এক বিধু বাকীরা তারকা দীপালোক শুধু চাঁদে খদ্যোতে বিনিময় মধু করে' চলে প্রীতি উচ্ছল	Upon Earth You pour the light of heaven; By infusing luster providential You make ascend. Innumerable people in the whole world You overwhelm for the sake of this kindness. For so long has gone on the new-moon night; Crookedly a black owl^{[nb 3]} has smiled. Yourself having come, Dear, please let light be ignited; Move, taking me on the path of profound knowledge. With this full moon, You're the moon singular; Just lamplight, the rest are stars. Twixt the moon and glowworm, exchange is nectar; It goes on making affection swell.

Notes

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ In the earliest publications (and the early recording), this word is given as shudhu. However, in the later Bangla source this word is madhu. The latter seems more meaningful.
^ Literally, kákári translates as "enemy of the crow". As such, it means an owl. It is not known which specific owl is referred to here, as in India (or the world) no owl is by nature entirely black. Perhaps this refers to the Indian eagle-owl. Or maybe the owl's color is figurative.
