Mrittyu Eseche Dware Dure Chale Jao

Mrittyu esechhe dware
Dure chale jao dure chale jao
Bali aji mora tare
Bidhatar giti gahibar lagi
Rahibo dharai mora sada jagi
Jyotir sadhak jyotir sadhika
Agni premik agni premika
Amara nashibo shaman ashani
Purnata parabare

Translation

Death has approached our door.
We tell death to go away.
We tell death we sing the song of the Lord Supreme.
Here on earth we shall live, and divinely awakened
we shall remain on earth.
We worshippers of Light, we lovers of Fire,
Shall destroy the thunder of death
in the ocean of Infinite Fulfilment.
Death has approached our door today.
