1828.
Acin desher megh bale gela
Se bandhu tomár ghare ásibe.
Tumi raunin oŕná mane jaŕiye
Tár tare barań d́álá sájábe.

Bujhi bá tomár jaminii halo sheś
Bujhi bá úśáy áne ráuná paribesh
Tumi ánkhi mocha naba sáje sájo
Nútaner dyuti ghare bhátibe.

Purátaner byathá bhule jáo sunayaná
Nútanere d́ák dáo niye nava kalpaná
Duhsvapner kathá bhebo ná bhebo ná
Smita ḿukhe nútanere tuśibe.

From an unknown land the clouds have brought a message,
That your Friend will call on you.
Wrap a colourful scarf around your mind,
And prepare a welcome for Him.
Your night is over, perhaps the dawn brings a radiant light.
Wipe your eyes, dress in a new garment,
The effulgence of the new will illumine your house.
Forget the pains of old, O lovely-eyed.
Welcome the new with all your grand imagination.
Forget your nightmares.
And greet the new with a smiling face.
