Lalon Song by Farida Parveen | Allah Ke Bojhe Tomar Opar Leele?!

Ke bojhe tomar opar leele?
Allah! ke bojhe tomar opar leele?

Tumi Aapni Allah, dako 'Allah' bole!

Who can comprehend Your endless play!

Allah! who can comprehend Your endless play?!

From Your Lord-Self
You cry out 'Allah' - Your Name Supreme!

Nurer kare tumi Nuri

Chile dimbo avatar e.

You are 'Light upon Light',

Without ceasing in

every incarnation.

Shakare srijon korle tri-bhuban

Eshe akare chomotkar bhab dekhale.

Allah ke bojhe tomar opar leele?

In form You've created the entire existence,

Your descent in every manifest form

dazzles our heart and mind.

Allah! who can comprehend Your endless play? !

Nirakar Nigumbho Dhani

Taoto shotti shobai jani

The First Command and Word

arose from You, Truth is this.

Tumi agomero phul

Nigome Rasul

Eshe Adam er qalbe jaan hoile.

Allah ke bojhe tomar opar leele?

You are the Holy Flower of Essence

The Name and the Named,

You pass Yourself as life giving spirit

within the secret heart of Adam.

Allah! who can comprehend Your endless play?!

Atma tatto jane jara

Shai'er nigur leela dekhche tara.

Those who've cognized the Self,

ceaselessly witness they

Lord's secret play.

Nire Niranjon, akottho shey dhon

Lalon khuje berae bon jongole.

Allah ke bojhe tomar opar leele?

Tumi Aapni Allah, dako 'Allah' bole!

That Subtle, Pure Supreme Being

Beyond words or descriptions,

Lalon seeks such Treasure here and there, 

everywhere.

Allah! who can comprehend Your endless play?!

From Your Lord-Self
You cry out 'Allah' - Your Name Supreme!
