It is just you, my love,
I have found to be forever
My guiding star, in the deep seas.
A sailor of rough tide,
I have no fear of losing way,
For you will deeply manifest,
Wherever I may drift.
Your rays will shine down
When tears flood over me.
Your face secretly thrives within
When you, if you, vanish suddenly,
You leave me in utter despair.
If some day, my soul longs to go astray
Your face I shall have to recall to find
A sweeping shame cast over me.
(another version by Rumela Sengupta)
You I have made my pole star
Lose my way I never will
On these seas ever again
Wherever it is I go
My guiding light do remain
Shine your luminance upon
My tears when they freely flow
Enthroned is your face deep within
A secret that is mine alone
I find myself in deep despair
If ever I lose sight of you
Away from path of righteousness
If ever my heart goes astray
All I do is recall that face
To see my heart recoil in shame
Ashchorjo shundor! I cannot decide which one I like better and perhaps it's not necessary to decide anything, just close my eyes and feel the surge of your inspired imaginations wash over me like waves created where two beautiful rivers run into the ocean and become unrecognizable, endless.
