Kar Parashe Kumud Hase

Kar parashe kumud hase
Nayan khule kali
Kahar shobha jhare pare
Jyochna haye gali
Ke se amar nayan mani
Praner priyatama
Swapne kena dekhina se
Anan manorama

Translation

By whose touch the lily smiles
And opens its beauty-bud?
Whose beauty’s moonlight
Do I see in the lily?
Who is the Eye of my eye?
Who is the Heart of my heart?
Alas, why do I not see Him,
His Face of transcendental Beauty,
Even in my dreams?
