Banshi tomar nahi baje
/Bengali transliteration/
Banshi tomar nahi baje
Amar ushar hiya majhe
Hashi tomar nahi raje
Amar ushar hiya majhe
Tabu daki bhore sanje
Amar ushar hiya majhe
Na ashile morbo laje
Amar ushar hiya majhe
/English translation/
I hear not Your flute
In my barren heart.
I see not Your Smile
In my barren heart.
Yet I invoke You morning and evening
In my barren heart.
If You do not respond I shall die in utter shame
In my barren heart.
