Lyrics

Roman script^{[nb 1]}	Bengali script	Translation
Tomár káche ámár prashna Shońo ogo bedaradii Práńii kena keṋde áse Hese báṋcalo ná jadi Puśpa kena kiit́e kát́e Madhu kháy kálo bhramar Hási kena ná bikoy hát́e Shishu káṋde aśt́aprahar Káro mot́e kśud ná jot́e Keu phele kháy kśiir dadhi Sandhyáráge hátcháni dey Kena nisháy aṋdhár ghanáy Man kena vipathete jáy Tumi jakhan ácho niravadhi	তোমার কাছে আমার প্রশ্ন শোণো ওগো বেদরদী প্রাণী কেন কেঁদে আসে হেসে বাঁচলো না যদি পুষ্প কেন কীটে কাটে মধু খায় কালো ভ্রমর হাসি কেন না বিকোয় হাটে শিশু কাঁদে অষ্টপ্রহর কারও মোটে ক্ষুদ না জোটে কেউ ফেলে খায় ক্ষীর-দধি সন্ধ্যারাগে হাতছানি দেয় কেন নিশায় আঁধার ঘনায় মন কেন বিপথেতে যায় তুমি যখন আছো নিরবধি	Lord, to You these are my queries; Indifferent One, hear me please. Why do living beings come in tears, When they survive only by smiling? Why are blooms eaten by worms, Nectar consumed by black bees? Why aren't smiles sold at market When a baby cries perpetually? Some cannot scrape up a grain of wheat, While others eat, scrapping a sea of kheer. When evening colors have beckoned me, Why then is dark of night so deep? Why does the mind wander astray When You are present ever and always?
