Lyrics

Roman script

Áj mane paŕe háráno dinete
Jiivaner shubha práte
Krandane paricay
Ogo mor ańumay

Katai divas áse ár jáy
Kata vibhávarii áloke lukáy
Álo-áṋdhárer úrdhva lokete
Rayecho jyotirmay
Ogo mor rúpamay

Jáná ajánár anubhúti páre
Bháver mádhurii cirakál tare
Rayeche tomár padajuga ghire
Máyátiita madhumay
Ogo mor giitimay

Bengali script

আজ মনে পড়ে হারানো দিনেতে
জীবনের শুভ প্রাতে
ক্রন্দনে পরিচয়
ওগো মোর অণুময়

কতই দিবস আসে আর যায়
কত বিভাবরী আলোকে লুকায়
আলো-আঁধারের ঊর্ধ্ব লোকেতে
রয়েছো জ্যোতির্ময়
ওগো মোর রূপময়

জানা-অজানার অনুভূতি পারে
ভাবের মাধুরী চিরকাল তরে
রয়েছে তোমার পদযুগ ঘিরে
মায়াতীত মধুময়
ওগো মোর গীতিময়

Translation

Today it springs to mind, in days gone by,
At the auspicious dawn of my life,
By crying did I come to know Thee,
Lord of mine, in the form of tiny things.

So many days arrive and then retire;
Many a night does hide the light...
Above the realms of light and darkness,
You've remained, full of effulgence,
Lord of mine, in the form of grand expressions.

Beyond emotions from what's known or unknown,
There's the sweetness of devotion, for eternity;
It has endured, revolving around Your two feet,
Ever-transcendent, filled with honey,
Lord of mine, in the form of song.

Purport

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

Oh Lord, I remember the past days. When I came into this world as a newborn child, my first communication with the world was through crying. Not tears, crying. A newborn child does like this [demonstrates]. So the first talk to the world is crying. There may or may not be tears. In the first phase You come to me in the form of so many small things – childhood needs. Then You come in the form of so many big expressions – water, air, sky. And then, in the final phase, You come in the form of songs.
