Tomaar pujaar chhole tomay bhulei thaaki
Bujhte naari kahon tumi daao je phaki
Phuler maalaa deeper aalo dhuper dhoyar Pichhon hote paai ne sujog charan chhoyar, Staber baaneer aaraal taani tomay dhaaki
Dekhbo bole ei aayojon mithya raakhi,
Aachhe to mor trisha kaator aapan akhi
Kaaj kee aamaar mandirete aanaagonay
Paatbo aason aapan moner ekti konay,
Saral praane neerab hoye tomaay daaki.

I lose you in my elaborate worships
I keep praying after you are long gone
The garlands, the oil lamps, the fragrances
Don't let me reach your feet,
I draw a curtain with those long cryptic hymns,
I keep making these false arrangements
Just to see you!
I just have my thirsty eyes
Why do I go to these temples,
I should make a place at a corner of my heart
And sit down in silence
And think of you
In my simple way.
