He mor jiban nadi
Chalo tumi nirabadhi
Maha parabar pane
Amiyer sandhane
Mithile je taba trisha
Ghuchaibe pran nisha

O my life-boat,
You always run and run
Towards the great ocean of the Unknown
For nectar-delight.
The moment your thirst is quenched,
My life of darkness will cease once and for all.
