Roman script

Tomáke khuṋjechilum
Hásite ánande ucchalatáy
Bhule giyechilum
Dukher májheo tomáke páoyá jáy

Kusumer madhute ácho
Jyotsnár vidhute ácho
Pápŕir suváse ácho
Ácho ghúrńijhaŕer vibhiiśikáy

Amarár áloke ácho
Jiivaner pulake ácho
Bhúloke dyuloke rayecho
Ácho ashanira anal jváláy

Bengali script

তোমাকে খুঁজেছিলুম
হাসিতে আনন্দে উচ্ছলতায়
ভুলে’ গিয়েছিলুম
দুখের মাঝেও তোমাকে পাওয়া যায়

কুসুমের মধুতে আছ
জ্যোৎস্নার বিধুতে আছ
পাপড়ির সুবাসে আছ
আছ ঘূর্ণিঝড়ের বিভীষিকায়

অমরার আলোকে আছ
জীবনের পুলকে আছ
ভূলোকে দ্যুলোকে রয়েছ
আছ অশনির অনল-জ্বালায়

Translation

Yourself had I pursued
In laughter, joy, and liveliness.
But I had neglected
That also amid sorrow You get detected.

You are in the nectar of a bloom;
You are in the moonlight's moon.
You are in the petal's sweet perfume,
And You are in a cyclone's threat.

You are in nirvana's luster;
You are in a lifetime's thrills.
Upon Earth and in Heaven You've endured,
And You are in a bolt-of-lightning's fiery vexation.
