Lyrics

Roman script

Tumi jadi náhi ele
Vrthái kabarii báṋdhá
Vrthái tabe álok sajjá
Vrthái sur-sádhá

Vrthái tabe álpaná áṋká
Vrthái tabe seje' tháká
Vrthái áṋká kájal rekhá
Kusum bhará gáṋthá

Tomár tare juge juge
He priya mor áchi jege'
Antahvihiin bhávávege
Lauṋghi' sakal bádhá

Bengali script

তুমি যদি নাহি এলে
বৃথাই কবরী বাঁধা
বৃথাই তবে আলোক সজ্জা
বৃথাই সুরসাধা

বৃথাই তবে আলপনা আঁকা
বৃথাই তবে সেজে' থাকা
বৃথাই আঁকা কাজল রেখা
কুসুম ভরা গাঁথা

তোমার তরে যুগে যুগে
হে প্রিয় মোর আছি জেগে'
অন্তঃবিহীন ভাবাবেগে
লঙ্ঘি' সকল বাধা

Translation

When You did not appear,
In vain is the hair-braid tied!
Then fruitless is decor of light,
And useless the melody plied.

Fruitless then sacred painting made from rice,
And just useless staying well-attired.
In vain is tracing lamp-black lines
Or stringing blooms to gratify.

Age after age for sake of Thee,
I am awake, hey my Darling.
With an endless impetus of feeling,
Crossing all blockade am I.
