Jadi alasa Prahare more bhebe tháko kabhu tumi
Se smriti páshari jeyo bhulo bhálabási ámi
Tomára lágiyá beńii bendhechi genthechi málá
Áj mańihárá sama phańii kende mari niye jválá
Taba subarńa rath hote esechi je ámi námi.
Bhule jeyo kata álo-jhará suprabháte
Phul karechi cayan tomáre sájáite
Sab madhurimá háráiyá siimá caleche akásh cumi.
If in an idle moment You ever thought of me, please forget that memory.
Please, forget that I ever loved You.
It was for You that I braided my hair and wove a garland
But today like a serpent devoid of its jewel,(1) I am burning in agony.
I have descended from that golden chariot.(2)
Please forget how many red dawns I picked flowers to adorn You.
Today all the sweetness is lost
And fled beyond the void.
