**Eso tumi áji práte
Aruń áloy rauṋ meláte
Phuler sáji niye háte
Rauṋ berauṋer phul tulite

Eṋko chavi maner matan
Nava rekháy nava lekháy
Bháv jágiye nútan nútan
Nava práńer unmádanáy
Nútan nútan pariveshe
Hásir chat́áy man mátáte

Nútan juger vártá niye
Nava sandhyár diipávaliite
Sabár duhkha sariye diye
Nútan kare bhálabásite
Kála cháyá guṋŕiye diye
Sonár rather jhalkánite**
Please come now at break of day
To blend Your color with the crimson light.
And carry a flower basket in hand
To gather blooms of diverse hues.

Paint a picture as You like,
With new lines and new designs;
Awaken new and newer thoughts
With a new passion for life.
In this ever-new atmosphere,
Enchant with brightness of a smile.

Convey the news of a new age
At daybreak's festival of light.
Dispel everyone's afflictions
With new emanations of love.
Pulverize the dark shadows
With glitter of a golden chariot.
