Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Vasante kena ná ele
Ele nidágher dávadáhe
Mukutábharańe phele'
Ele bhasmajat́á samárohe

Chilo sevantii chilo bakul
Chilo málatii mádhavii mukul
Chilo campak cámelii párul
Ele dhastúr arka parigrahe

Chilo ciináḿshuk svarńakuńd́al
Kanakakeyúr ratnamańd́al
Chilo mańihár marakatojjval
Tabe kena rudrákśe dekhi he

বসন্তে কেন না এলে
এলে নিদাঘের দাবদাহে
মুকুতাভরণে ফেলে'
এলে ভস্মজটা সমারোহে

ছিল সেবন্তী ছিল বকুল
ছিল মালতী মাধবী মুকুল
ছিল চম্পক চামেলী পারুল
এলে ধস্তূর-অর্ক পরিগ্রহে

ছিল চীনাংশুক স্বর্ণকুণ্ডল
কনককেয়ূর রত্নমণ্ডল
ছিল মণিহার মরকতোজ্জ্বল
তবে কেন রুদ্রাক্ষে দেখি হে

Why did You not come in the springtime;
Came You with a summer's heat like forest fire.
Pearly maintenance casting aside,
With éclat of ashes and matted hair, You arrived.

There had been sevantii, there had been Spanish cherry;
There had been malatii, there had been madhavii
There had been campak, parul, and camelii;
You came with datura and margosa on all sides.

There had been Chinese silk and earrings golden,
Golden bracelets and armbands jeweled.
There had been necklaces, bright emerald-begemmed;
Then why, with rudraksa oh why see I?
