Phanki Diye Cheyechhilam Karte

```

Phanki diye cheyechilam

Karte tomai jay

Prabhu tomar sneha dhara

Halo apabyay

Andha mora andha

Hriday duar bandha

Ghor timire nachi

Pran taranir majhi

Nutan alo sathe

Madhur amar prate

Abar prabhu dio dekha

Ei dharanir buke

Daki jena tomai mora

Nitya sukhe dukhe

Dur karo aj moder praner

Klanti mithya bhoi

Phanki diye cheyechilam

Karte tomai jay

```

```

I wanted to conquer You through deception.

Lord, all Your Affection and Love I have squandered.

All human beings are blind.

Our heart-doors are closed.

We dance in darkness tenebrous.

O Boatman of my life-boat,

Do come to me with new light

In the golden and sanctified morning.

O Lord, do appear once more before me.

Here on earth may I invoke You once again

Through ever-new sorrows and delight.

Today especially, O Lord,

Drive away all falsehood and fear from me.

Alas, I wanted to conquer You through deception,

By deceiving You.

```
