Lyrics

Roman script

Bandhu he niye calo
Álor oi jharńádhárár páne
Bandhu he niye calo

Áṋdhárer vyathá ár say ná práńe
Bandhu he niye calo

Ghumer ghor bháuṋánor gáne gáne
Bandhu he niye calo

Bengali script

বন্ধু হে নিয়ে চলো
আলোর ওই ঝর্ণাধারার পানে
বন্ধু হে নিয়ে চলো

আঁধারের ব্যথা আর সয় না প্রাণে
বন্ধু হে নিয়ে চলো

ঘুমের ঘোর ভাঙানোর গানে গানে
বন্ধু হে নিয়ে চলো

Translation

Oh Abiding Friend, take me with.
Toward yon streaming fountain of effulgence,
Oh Abiding Friend, take me with.

No more can be borne unenlightenment's affliction;
Oh Abiding Friend, take me with.

Shattering my dense slumber with one song after another,
Oh Abiding Friend, take me with.

Purport

This is how Sarkar himself described the meaning of the song—[4]

Paramapuruśa is the real friend. Oh Paramapuruśa, direct me unto the fountain of divine effulgence. I was slumbering in Cimmerian darkness. I was an ordinary atom. But now I can no longer tolerate the staticity of darkness. Oh Paramapuruśa, sing before me the song which will arouse me from my deep slumber. Sing before me that song which will show me what is what and which is which.
