The bright flame of fire glows in the stars

আজ তারায় তারায় দীপ্ত শিখার অগ্নি জ্বলে
aaj taray taray deepto shikhar ogni jwole

The bright flame of fire glows in the stars
Resplendent is the assembly of heavenly light
Aeons ago was I summoned to that regal space
My heart said “No”, it could not feel at home
Thus I sailed across the ocean of time
I came to this place beneath the sleep bereft skies
Here the air is filled with sweet whisperings
On this verdant earth, in the waters so blue
Here the grass is embellished with floral hues
Light and shade locked in embrace on forest trails
My heart says “Yes”, this feels like home
So my days go by here absorbed in this play
On this verdant earth, beneath the sleep bereft skies
