Ore Amar Praner Priya Basana

Ore amar praner priya basana
Chaudike tor hase pralay jatana
Mitthya khudhar dabanale
Pari ami tori chhale
Sudure mor alor swapan
Tare ami kari smaran
E prithibir tikta hasi
Dilo amar prane phansi
Ebar ami khunjbo amai
Amar hiyar supta guhai
Ami habo amai paowar sadhana

Translation

O dear desire of my vital life, around you
laughs thunder-torture.
Your world-tricks throw me into the blazing
fire of false hunger-life.
I know my dream-boat is far, very far,
far beyond the farthest horizon.
The bitter smile of this world is crucifying
my vital life.
Now I shall search for my real self
in the dormant cave of my heart.
I shall become my self-discipline and
my self-discovery.
