Lyrics

Roman script

Tomáre peyechi
Aruńálote hásimákhá práte
Kamala kánane kújane
Prabháta samiire niira nirjhare
Vanaviithikáy vijane

Tomáre peyechi
Calár pather patanottháne
Hásite nrtye chande o táne
Madhur smrtite marmagiitite
Sakala shravańe manane

Tomáre cinechi
Bhálabásiyáchi káchete peyechi
Mukhara svapane smarańe

Bengali script

তোমারে পেয়েছি
অরুণালোতে হাসিমাখা প্রাতে
কমল কাননে কূজনে
প্রভাত-সমীরে নীর-নির্ঝরে
বনবীথিকায় বিজনে

তোমারে পেয়েছি
চলার পথের পতনোত্থানে
হাসিতে নৃত্যে ছন্দে ও তানে
মধুর স্মৃতিতে মর্মগীতিতে
সকল শ্রবণে মননে

তোমারে চিনেছি
ভালবাসিয়াছি কাছেতে পেয়েছি
মুখর স্বপনে স্মরণে

Translation

I have found You...
In the crimson light on cheery mornings,
In the cooing at the lotus gardens,
In the breeze at dawn, in water-springs,
In forest vistas solitary.

I have found You...
In the ups and downs on my journey,
In the dance and laugh, the beat and melody,
In my heartsong and its sweet memories,
In everything heard and conceived.

I have known You...
I have loved You and found You near,
Speaking frequently in dream and reverie.

Purport

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

Along the path of progress, the movement towards the goal is not a straight and plain road. There are so many ups and downs. Oh Lord, You have been with me during the ups and also during the downs. In my pleasures, You were with me in the smiles on my face; and, in my pains, also You were with me in the tears in my eyes. You have been with me in all circumstances and in all conditions. You never leave me. You are so near to me. You maintain the closest proximity to me. You are my closest friend.
