Ananta Maya
Endless Love
| Kahera thakegharu samanta saagarko | The endless expanse of the ocean, |
| Drishya phailiyeko nilo aakaash | The blue sky stretching far and wide — |
| Tyobhanda kahin jo mero maaya timilai | But my love for you is greater than all of that, |
| Tyobhanda drishya mero maaya timilai | My love for you is deeper and more boundless still. |
| Astitwa metiyela sabko mero maaya metindaina | Even if everything in this world disappears, my love will never fade. |
| Kharani hara jalera sab mero maaya sakindaina | Even if everything burns to ashes, my love will never end. |
| Astitwa metiyela sabko mero maaya metindaina | Even if everything in this world disappears, my love will never fade. |
| Kharani hara jalera sab mero maaya sakindaina | Even if everything burns to ashes, my love will never end. |
| Ujyaalo angajasto anautho chhupi | Like a strange and beautiful glow, |
| Sital saanjhaiko sunaulo chupij | Like the golden silence of a cool evening — |
| Tyo bhanda ujyaalo mero maaya timilai | My love for you shines even brighter, |
| Tyo bhanda rangeen chha mero maaya timilai | My love for you is even more colourful. |
| Astitwa metiyela sabko mero maaya metindaina | Even if everything in this world disappears, my love will never fade. |
| Kharani hara jalera sab mero maaya sakindaina | Even if everything burns to ashes, my love will never end. |
| Astitwa metiyela sabko mero maaya metindaina | Even if everything in this world disappears, my love will never fade. |
| Kharani hara jalera sab mero maaya sakindaina | Even if everything burns to ashes, my love will never end. |
