By morning's light

(865)  Alor sagare dheu jagayecho

In the ocean of effulgence, waves You've raised;
Heavenly nectar, You've made rain.
Wiping away the gloom of fog,
You've ushered in the crimson light of dawn.

In the thrice-scorched^[1] heart of humankind,
Thirst for the infinite You've imbued.
In mute and unaware human minds,
You've proclaimed liberty's truths.

Making men forget their social bias
That all might move unitedly,
For the start of an enlightened era,
You've painted a portrait of novelty.
