Ami sei meye.....
aami aaj premer jonno fele jacchi aram
jege thakar jonno fele jacchi bhatghum
jontronar jonno fele jacchi sukh.
gyan r jonno fele jacchi andhkaar
anonder jonno fele jacchi saffolo
amriter jonno aisharya.....
Today, I leave ease behind for love
To stay awake, I abandon the siesta
for pain, abandon happiness
for knowledge, blindness.
for joy, success.
for the intoxicating nectar, treasures.
The noble flame of knowledge burns in my hands
for those who seek.
I am that girl, whom you must recognize
when looking at yourselves.
