Roman script

(Tumi) Chande chande ele priyatama
Nandana vaneri madhu sama
Gandhe gandhe práń ákul mama
Candana parashe anupama

Alakár alakánandá náce
Tomáy ghire náná rúpe sáje
Amará mádhurii niye ele
D́hele dile sudhá kii durdama

Tumi cháŕá ráká andhakárá
Tumi bhará dhará madhukśará
Tumi ácho áche jagat sárá
Sárátsár tomáke namo namah

Bengali script

(তুমি) ছন্দে ছন্দে এলে প্রিয়তম
নন্দন বনেরই মধু সম
গন্ধে গন্ধে প্রাণ আকুল মম
চন্দন-পরশে অনুপম

অলকার অলকানন্দা নাচে
তোমায় ঘিরে' নানা রূপে সাজে
অমরা-মাধুরী নিয়ে এলে
ঢেলে' দিলে সুধা কী দুর্দম

তুমি ছাড়া রাকা অন্ধকারা
তুমি-ভরা ধরা মধুক্ষরা
তুমি আছ আছে জগৎ সারা
সারাৎসার তোমাকে নমো নমঃ

Translation

My Dearest, in many rhythms You arrived,
Seeming like the honey from Paradise.
My multi-scented, restless life
Was touched by sandalwood unrivaled.

The heavenly, elysian river dances
All around You, with different forms and ornaments.
You appeared, bringing heaven's sweetness...
What nectar irresistible did You dispense?

Without You the full moon is bedimmed;
While filled with You, Earth exudes sweetness.
You exist; hence, the whole world exists...
Before You I genuflect, Essence of Essence.
