Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Niilákáshe oi baláká
Kon ajánáy bhese je jáy
Man chot́e tár pichu eká
Páy ná dekhá niiŕ je kotháy

Álo áṋdhárite d́háká
E niiŕ sadái bháve mákhá
Priitir t́áne uŕe je pákhá
Se khuṋje páy t́hik thikánáy

Karma-jiṋáner d́áná mele
Bhaktir nishánáy cale
Bhávle táke sabe bhule
Se dhará dey arúp liiláy

নীলাকাশে ওঁই বলাকা
কোন্‌ অজানায় ভেসে' যে যায়
মন ছোটে তার পিছু একা
পায় না দেখা নীড় যে কোথায়

আলো-আঁধারিতে ঢাকা
এ নীড় সদাই ভাবে মাখা
প্রীতির টানে উড়ে যে পাখা
সে খুঁজে পায় ঠিক ঠিকানায়

কর্ম-জ্ঞানের ডানা মেলে'
ভক্তির নিশানায় চলে'
ভাবলে তাকে সবে ভুলে'
সে ধরা দেয় অরূপ লীলায়

On azure sky yon flight of geese,
Having rose, it goes to which unknown place?
Chasing that, mind races, solitary;
Where's the nest, no sight does it obtain.

In light and darkness it's concealed–
This cozy abode, always ideation-smeared.
Under the tow of love flutter wings;
They find the right address, having chased.

After spreading wings of action and knowledge,
They go to devotion's target.
Contemplating that, all else forgotten,
He concedes, the Formless One in divine play.
