Lyrics in Bengali

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে
আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছ তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে ।।

Andrew Kishore.

ঢেকে রাখে যেমন কুসুম
পাঁপড়ির আবডালে ফসলের ঘুম
তেমনি তোমার নিবিড় চলা
মরমের মূল পথ ধরে ।।

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছ তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে
আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে ।।

পুষে রাখে যেমন ঝিনুক
খোলসের আবরণে মুক্তোর সুখ
তেমনি তোমার গভীর ছোঁয়া
ভিতরের নীল বন্দরে ।।

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছ তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে
আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে ।।
 

Kabir Suman.

ভালো আছি, ভালো থেকো
আকাশের ঠিকানায় চিঠি লিখ
দিও তোমার মালা খানি
বাউলের এই মনটারে ।।

আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছ তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে
আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে
আছো তুমি হৃদয় জুড়ে ।।

— Rudra Mohammad Shahidullah, আমার ভিতর বাহিরে অন্তরে অন্তরে

Translation

The poem is translated by Quasem Sufi[4]

Inside me, outside me, within my very core;
You live wrapped all around my heart.

Sabina Yasmin.

Oysters nurture pearls in their bosoms undetected;
Likewise, you deeply touch my broken heart.
Inside me, outside me, within my very core;
You live wrapped all around my heart.

As flowers cradle their crops under their petals;
So you walk down the memory lane under cover.
Inside me, outside me, within my very core;
You live wrapped all around my heart.

Kanak Chapa.

Your ' I'm Okay; Keep well ' letter?
Send it to my new address, 'Heaven.'
And your welcoming garland?
Lay it around this heart of the wondering minstrel.
Inside me, outside me, within my very core;
You live wrapped all around my heart.

— Rudra Mohammad Shahidullah, Amar Bhitor Bahire Ontore Ontore
