[Verse 1]
আছে দীন দুনিয়ার অচিন মানুষ একজনা।
Ache din duniyar ochin manush ekjona.
There is an unknown person in this poor world.
কাজের বেলায় পরশমণি, আর সময়ে কেউ থাকে না।
Kajer belay poroshmoni, ar shomoye keu thake na.
Like a touchstone in times of need, but at other times, no one is there.
নবী আলী– এই দুজনে
Nobi Ali– ei dujone
Prophet Ali – these two
কলমা-দাতা দল আরফিনে
Kolma-data dol arfine
The givers of the Kalima, the group of Gnostics (Arifin)
বে-কলমায় সে অচিন জনে
Be-kolmay she ochin jone
Without the Kalima, that unknown person
পীরের পীর হয় জান না৷
Pirer pir hoy jan na?
Is the Pir of Pirs, don't you know?
[Chorus]
আছে দীন দুনিয়ার অচিন মানুষ একজনা।
Ache din duniyar ochin manush ekjona.
There is an unknown person in this poor world.
কাজের বেলায় পরশমণি, আর সময়ে কেউ থাকে না।
Kajer belay poroshmoni, ar shomoye keu thake na.
Like a touchstone in times of need, but at other times, no one is there.
[Verse 2]
যেদিন সাঁই নৈরাকারে
Jedin Sai noirokare
The day the Lord (Sai) was formless,
ভাসলেন একা একেশ্বরে
Bhaslen eka ekeshwore
Floating alone as the One God,
সেই অচিন মানুষ তারে
Shei ochin manush tare
That unknown person
দোসর হল তৎক্ষণা।
Dosor holo totkhona.
Became His companion instantly.
[Chorus]
আছে দীন দুনিয়ার অচিন মানুষ একজনা।
Ache din duniyar ochin manush ekjona.
There is an unknown person in this poor world.
কাজের বেলায় পরশমণি, আর সময়ে কেউ থাকে না।
Kajer belay poroshmoni, ar shomoye keu thake na.
Like a touchstone in times of need, but at other times, no one is there.
[Bridge]
কেউ তারে জেনেছে দড়
Keu tare jeneche dor
Some have known him well,
খোদার ছোট নবীর বড়
Khodar choto nobir boro
Smaller than God, greater than the Prophet.
লালন বলে, নড়চড়
Lalon bole, norchor
Lalon says, without wavering,
সে নইলে কুল পাবা না।
She noile kul paba na.
Without him, you will not find the shore (salvation).
[Chorus]
আছে দীন দুনিয়ার অচিন মানুষ একজনা।
Ache din duniyar ochin manush ekjona.
There is an unknown person in this poor world.
কাজের বেলায় পরশমণি, আর সময়ে কেউ থাকে না।
Kajer belay poroshmoni, ar shomoye keu thake na.
Like a touchstone in times of need, but at other times, no one is there.
Lines explained
“কাজের বেলায় পরশমণি, আর সময়ে কেউ থাকে না।”
Kajer belay poroshmoni, ar shomoye keu thake na.
Like a touchstone in times of need, but at other times, no one is there.
A 'poroshmoni' (touchstone) is a mythical stone that can turn base metals into gold, symbolizing something invaluable that appears only when truly needed.
“পীরের পীর হয় জান না৷”
Pirer pir hoy jan na?
Is the Pir of Pirs, don't you know?
A 'Pir' is a spiritual guide or saint in Sufism. 'Pirer Pir' means the Pir of Pirs, indicating a supreme spiritual authority.
“সে নইলে কুল পাবা না।”
She noile kul paba na.
Without him, you will not find the shore (salvation).
'Kul paba na' literally means 'you will not find the shore,' which is an idiom for not achieving salvation or spiritual liberation.
