Dukhero beshe ashiyo,

Come to me disguised as sorrow

Tumi dukhero beshe ashiyo,

You come to me disguised as sorrow

Bedonar moto chupi chupi, tumi

Softly, on tip-toes as grief

Amar porane bidiyo..

You come and thus pierce my heart..

Dukhero beshe ashiyo,

Come to me disguised as sorrow

Tumi dukhero beshe ashiyo.

You come to me disguised as sorrow

Tomaye, porane bedona amar , bondhu manibo ami;

I will welcome you as a dear friend, who has come as sorrow to touch my heart

Bedonar moto pabare probhu, tomare paibo Swami.

And I will receive your grief with open arms, knowing that it is You I receive

Tumi jodi bojho bhalo, joto paro dukho dhalo,

If its your divine will, then drown me in your grief

Bedonar moto bhore diyo hiyo,

Fill up my heart with your presence (disguised as sorrow)

Amaye bhalobashiyo.

And in that let me feel your love for me

Dukhero beshe ashiyo,

Come to me disguised as sorrow

Tumi dukhero beshe ashiyo,

You come to me disguised as sorrow

Bedonar moto chupi chupi, tumi

Softly, on tip-toes as grief

Amar porane bidiyo..

You come and thus pierce my heart..

Dukhero beshe ashiyo,

Come to me disguised as sorrow

Tumi dukhero beshe ashiyo.

You come to me disguised as sorrow
