Do arise now

ওঠো রে মলিনমুখ
otho re molinomukh

Come on, do arise now
You who sit with eyes downcast
Shadows darkening your face
Leave aside lamentations
Though athirst so be your heart

The day has trickled by
Dispersed has the gathering
Homeward bound is each one
Keeping aside their play

For whom do you sing
Tuning your beggarly heart
Darkness of night draws close
The long road stretches on

Parched and hungry is the heart
It is now time to end the song
Out of tune is the Sitar
