Mongol deep jele.
Ondhokare du chokh
aloye bhoro prabhu
Tobu jara bishsash
korena tumi aachho
Tader marjona koro prabhu.

Je tumi alo dite
Protidin surjo uthhao
Oder bujhiye dao shei tumi
Pathoreo phul je phutao
Jibon moru te
Koruna dharaye
jhoro probhu.

Bolo taar ki oporadh
Jonmo hoyeche jaar pape.
Tomaro choa diye tumi
Phutao poddo kore taake
Bhul pothe gele
Tumi eshe haath
dhoro probhu.

Translation:

Auspicious lamp you light.
In darkness,
my eyes you fill with light,
O’ Lord.
Yet,those who don’t believe in you
Pardon them too right.
O’ Lord.

It is your light that makes
sun shine everyday.
Make them believe,
you can bloom flower
even on stony bay.
My arid life you shower
with your mercy-kind.
O’Lord.

What is her fault that
she’s born in muddy water?
With your grace,
as lotus you make to bloom her.
If I wander on wrong paths,
hold my hand tight.
O’ Lord
