Hatashai bhara e jiban mor kahare dekibe aj
Ke parabe dehe asaktihin dhruba karmer saj
Ogo sundar laho nati mor dao more bishwas
Purnata ar amarata taba mor shudhu abhilash

Doomed to disappointment
Is this life of mine.
Whom can I call today?
Who will help me don the robe of detachment?
Who will help me don the robe of truth-action?
O Beautiful One,
Do accept my heart’s obeisance.
Give me faith in boundless measure.
Your Infinitude and Your Immortality
Can alone please me,
     Within, without.
