Amai Tumi Dekhechho Ma (1)

```

Amai tumi dekechho ma

Amai tumi dekechho

Andhar rate jariye dhare

Bhalo tumi besechho

Tabu tomai rakhi dure

Katobar je kendechho

Mukti dite amar prane

Katobar je tenechho

Pashan diye gara e pran

Taito dure rekhechhi

Tomar sakal sneha bibhav

Agyanatai rekhechhi

```

Translation

```

Mother, You have called me,

You have called me.

In the darkness-night You have loved me,

You have loved me.

I know not why I keep You away from me.

To give me liberation, how many times

You have brought me close to You, the ocean.

A stone-heart is mine;

Therefore, I do not care for You,

I keep You aside.

I place You far, farther, farthest from me

And I abide in the life of darkness-night.

```
