Dukhe achi seto bhalo
    Dukhe ami bhalo thaki
Bujechi sukh kebal micha phanki
Susamaye tomai bhule
    Nayan mude thaki
Bujechi sukh kebal micha phanki
Dukhe pare praner daye
    Tomai mago daki

While I suffer,
I enjoy perfect peace.
Unlike joy, suffering
Is a real stranger
To false deception.
While I enjoy,
I keep my eyes shut.
Mother, I fail to see You.
It is only the excruciating pangs
That grant me
The vision to see You,
And invoke You.
