Lyrics
Roman script
(Áji) Sajala pavane
Saghana svapane
Ajáná pathik eseche
(Se je) Viińára tárete
Siimára párete
Cetanár gán geyeche
Se hásit́i mamatár
Se cáhani cini kár
Se je ajánára bádhá bheuṋge
Jáná áji hayeche
Bengali script
(আজি) সজল পবনে
সঘন স্বপনে
অজানা পথিক এসেছে
(সে যে) বীণার তারেতে
সীমার পারেতে
চেতনার গান গেয়েছে
সে হাসিটি মমতার
সে চাহনি চিনি কার
সে যে অজানার বাধা ভেঙ্গে
জানা আজি হয়েছে
Translation
Today, in air rain-heavy,
In a dream that's hazy,
The Unknown Traveler appeared.
Upon His own lyre strings,
At limitation's frontier,
The song of consciousness He did sing.
His smile was so loving;
His gaze was sugary.
Breaking the dam of His obscurity,
This same day, become known has He.
Purport
This is how Sarkar himself described the meaning of the song—[4]
When the air was heavy with moisture and while I was in a deep dream, a very sweet dream, I saw that an unknown traveler had come. His eyes were full of affection, and His sweet smile said who He was. But as soon as I could know who He was, He no longer remained unknown. Then He was not at all an unknown traveler. He was a known personality. And everyone knew who He was.
