Lyrics

Roman script

E gán ámár álor jharńádhárá
Upala pathe dine ráte
Bahe jái
Bahe jái báṋdhanahárá
Álor jharńádhárá

E path ámár bandhura kańt́akabhará
Utsa hate práńera srote
Bheuṋge jái
Bheuṋge jái páśáńakárá
Álor jharńádhárá

Bengali script

এ গান আমার আলোর ঝর্ণাধারা
উপল-পথে দিনে রাতে
বহে যাই
বহে যাই বাঁধনহারা
আলোর ঝর্ণাধারা

এ পথ আমার বন্ধুর কণ্টকভরা
উৎস হ'তে প্রাণের স্রোতে
ভেঙ্গে যাই
ভেঙ্গে যাই পাষাণকারা
আলোর ঝর্ণাধারা

Translation

This is my song, a cascade of light.
On a rocky road, by day and by night,
I carry on...
I carry on without obstruction,
A cascade of light.

This is my path, rugged and full of thorns.
From the Source on my life-stream,
I keep breaching...
I keep breaching stone-prisons,
A cascade of light.

Purport

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

For those who move along the path of greatness and magnanimity, so much meanness and littleness stand as insurmountable obstacles. They know this and their song is like a fountain of divine effulgence it is not a materialistic song. Their song does not move along a smooth road. In their path there are so many thorns, so many ups and downs just like a fountain which flows along various rapids and finally merges into the sea. They recognize no barrier, saying "We move on and on, with all our innate vitality, ever breaking all the iron prison walls around us."
