Mahabishwey Mahakashey Mahakala Majhey
Ami Manaba Ekaki Bhromi Bismoye, Bismoye
Tumi Achho Biswanatho Oshim Rohoshyo Majhe
Nirobe, Ekaki, Apono Mahimaniloye
Ananata e deshkaley, ogonyo e diptolokey
Tumi achho morey chahi, ami chahi toma paney
stobdho shorbo kolahol, shantomogno chorachor
Ek tumi toma majhe, ami eka, nirbhoye
Traversing the Universe, from Space to Space, from Time to Time,
I, the Mortal, wander in ceaseless wonderment -
Shrouded in mystery everlasting, O Lord, 
You reside in thy glorious abode, alone, quiescent.
Pervading Space and Time eternal and luminosities inestimable
You gaze at me - I behold you and I perceive,
All turmoil has died away, the Creation reposes in peace profound;
There remain only You, and within You, I, sheltered, serene. 

                                             -Kausik Datta, April 24, 1999
