Kon atiite sei kon atiite Tava mana madhute Sundara dhará tumi raciyáchile Tava prajiṋá bodhi ohe sthitodadhi Tárá phut́iyechilo nabhoniile Tava manapavane tarii ujáne Bhásiyechile kono máná ná mene Tava cakra máyáy tava liilá dyotanáy Randhre randhre práń bhariye dile Atiite chile tumi varttamáne ácho Bhaviśyater chavi eṋke calecho Tumi sabára giiti tumi sabára priiti Sabár madhur smrti práńe pashile	কোন্‌ অতীতে সেই কোন্‌ অতীতে তব মন-মধুতে সুন্দর ধরা তুমি রচিয়াছিলে তব প্রজ্ঞা-বোধি ওহে স্থিতোদধি তারা ফুটিয়েছিলো নভোনীলে তব মনপবনে তরী উজানে ভাসিয়েছিলে কোনো মানা না মেনে তব চক্র-মায়ায় তব লীলা-দ্যোতনায় রন্ধ্রে রন্ধ্রে প্রাণ ভরিয়ে দিলে অতীতে ছিলে তুমি বর্ত্তমানে আছো ভবিষ্যতের ছবি এঁকে চলেছো তুমি সবার গীতি তুমি সবার প্রীতি সবার মধুর স্মৃতি প্রাণে পশিলে	In what yesteryear, on what ancient day, With sweet nectar from Your psyche, Did You build this lovely world? Oh Lord,^{[nb 2]} Your cognition and intuition Made a star rise in the vast blue sky. By Your hidden will, a ship travels upstream; You'd made it sail, heeding no warning. In the cycle of Your maya, the expression of Your liila, With life-breath You imbued every single pore. In the hoary past You were, and at present You are, Ever You've endured, etching an image of the future. For everyone You're the hymn and its satisfaction; As everyone's sweet memory, You entered the heart.

Notes

^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
^ Stithodadhi (স্থিতোদধি) is not a common name for God. Literally, it would signify an ocean-dweller, a denizen of the sea. But as this verse describes a "time" before the universe was created, the sea is clearly the ocean of consciousness. The dweller must then be Parama Purusa Himself, the Supreme Consciousness.
