Chahi Tomar Pane Barai Abhimane

Chahi tomar pane barai abhimane
Chahi tomar pane jadio timir tane
Chahi tomar pane asha bhara prane
Chahi tomar pane mukti shikhar gane

Translation

I look at You through intense sulking.
I look at You although darkness pulls me.
I look at You with hope, with a heart full of hope.
I look at You with the flames of liberation.
