Roman script
Ámi shudhu hesechi necechi geyechi
Cáṋder álor sáthe bháv karechi
Jáhá kichu dekhechi shuńechi peyechi
Maner mańikot́háy eṋke rekhechi
Akaruńa jhaiṋjhára váy
Jadi tárá háráiyá jáy
Sab háránor sheś jáhára káche
Sekhánei geye rekhechi
Álo nái jekháne práń nái sekháne
Álor devatá áj khuṋje peyechi
Bengali script
আমি শুধু হেসেছি নেচেছি গেয়েছি
চাঁদের আলোর সাথে ভাব করেছি
যাহা কিছু দেখেছি শুণেছি পেয়েছি
মনের মণিকোঠায় এঁকে রেখেছি
অকরুণ ঝঞ্ঝার বায়
যদি তারা হারাইয়া যায়
সব হারানোর শেষ যাহার কাছে
সেখানেই গেয়ে রেখেছি
আলো নাই যেখানে প্রাণ নাই সেখানে
আলোর দেবতা আজ খুঁজে পেয়েছি
Translation
Just laughed and danced and sung have I;
With moon's light I've fraternized.
Everything I've seen or heard or realized,
I've engraved in the jeweled halls of mind.
Tempests blow without mercy
Should the stars disappear.
Having lost all I'd held dear,
Even there, I've kept singing.
Where there is no light, there is no life.
Now I've discovered the god of light.
Purport
This is how Sarkar himself described the meaning of the song—[4]
I have fallen in love with the luster of the moonlight. So I am only laughing and dancing and singing. I have established my friendship with the moonlight, not with the moon; because the moon maintains a distance, but moonlight is very close. Moonlight is my friend, mon ami. Whatever I have realized, whatever I have treasured, if various obstacles or hindrances cause that to be lost, still I have lost nothing. Where there is no divine effulgence, there is no life. But, today, I have discovered the apostle of light.
