Roman script

Gán geye tumi path calechile
Balechile kańt́ha meláte
Dúre theke ámi dáṋŕiye dekhechi
Káche ásiniko lajjáte

Chilo láj bhay chilo saḿshay
Bháviyáchi tumi ápanár nay
Bhram sare geche samvit eseche
Ájke tomáy khuṋji pathe

Khuṋje beŕiyechi arańyániite
Suvistiirńa giri himániite
Ná peye báhire vane kántáre
Khoṋj kari áj manete

Bengali script

গান গেয়ে তুমি পথ চলেছিলে
বলেছিলে কণ্ঠ মেলাতে
দূরে থেকে আমি দাঁড়িয়ে দেখেছি
কাছে আসিনিকো লজ্জাতে

ছিল লাজ-ভয় ছিল সংশয়
ভাবিয়াছি তুমি আপনার নয়
ভ্রম সরে' গেছে সম্বিৎ এসেছে
আজকে তোমায় খুঁজি পথে

খুঁজে বেড়িয়েছি অরণ্যানীতে
সুবিস্তীর্ণ গিরি হিমানীতে
না পেয়ে বাহিরে বনে কান্তারে
খোঁজ করি আজ মনেতে

Translation

You had walked, singing a song;
You'd asked me to sing along.
From a distance, halted, I've observed;
But bashfully, proximate I did not come.

There'd been doubt, there'd been shyness and fear;
"Impossible that You are mine" was I thinking.
Consciousness has arrived, my error has gone off;
Now, on the path Yourself do I search for.

I have roamed about searching in woodlands large
And on the snow of mountains most far-flung.
Not having found in groves or jungles broad,
At present time, in the mind I explore.
