Nil Akasher Alor Pakhi

Nil akasher alor pakhi
Eso amar chotra prane
Mukti lagi gabhir asha
Amai tane tomar pane
Tumi bina jiban amar
Gahan andhakar
Tomai pele habo ami
Jyoti parabar

O blue bird of the sky,
Do descend into my tiny heart.
My heart is pining for you.
It wants to bring you close to its existence,
For in you it feels the liberation-song.
Without you, my heart is all darkness,
And with you, my life will be transformed
Into the ocean of Light.
