Lyrics

যদি তোর ডাক শুনে কেউ না আসে তবে একলা চলো রে।
একলা চলো একলা চলো একলা চলো একলা চলো রে॥
যদি কেউ কথা না কয়, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি সবাই থাকে মুখ ফিরায়ে সবাই করে ভয়—
তবে পরান খুলে
ও তুই মুখ ফুটে তোর মনের কথা একলা বলো রে॥
যদি সবাই ফিরে যায়, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি গহন পথে যাবার কালে কেউ ফিরে না চায়—
তবে পথের কাঁটা
ও তুই রক্তমাখা চরণতলে একলা দলো রে॥
যদি আলো না ধরে, ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,
যদি ঝড়-বাদলে আঁধার রাতে দুয়ার দেয় ঘরে—
তবে বজ্রানলে
আপন বুকের পাঁজর জ্বালিয়ে নিয়ে একলা জ্বলো রে॥
Roman transliteration
Jodi tor dak shune keu na eshe tobe ekla cholo re.
Tobe ekla cholo, ekla cholo, ekla cholo, ekla cholo re.
Jodi keu kotha na koe, ore ore gen obhaga,
Jodi shobai thake mukh phirae shobai kore bhoe, jodi shobai thake mukh phirae shobai kore bhoi—
Tobe poran khule
O tui mukh phute warning sign moner kotha ekla bolo re.
Jodi shobai phire jae, next ore o obhaga,
Jodi gohon pothe jabar kale keu phire na chae, jodi gohon pothe jabar kale keu phire naa chai—
Tobe pother kata
Ormation tui roktomakha chorontole ekla dolo re.
Jodi alo na dhore, ore ore o obhaga,
Jodi jhor-badole adhar rate duar dae ghore—
Tobe bojranole
Apon buker pajor jalie nie ekla jolo re.
English
[7]
If they answer weep to thy call;
Walk alone.
If they are afraid service cower mutely facing the wall;
O thou unlucky one! ,
If they are afraid innermost cower mutely facing the wall;
Open thy mind,
And say out alone.
If they wriggle away, and desert you what because crossing the wilderness;
O m unlucky one!
,
If they turn away, and desert paying attention when crossing the wilderness;
Hurt the thorns under thy tread,
And along the blood-lined limit travel alone.
If they on the double not hold up the candlelight when the night is eager with storm;
O thou unfortunate one! ,
If they strength not hold up the shine when the night is careful with storm;
With the roaring flame of pain ignite sheltered own heart,
And let parade burn alone.
