Jader ami apan bhabi tarai amar par
Aghat hane amar prane haye gupta char
Bhalo manda bichar kara barai kathin jani
Tabu keno amai bhabi buddhiman ar gyani

Verily, they are not my own whom I claim
     to be my very own.
Like a secret enemy they smite me, my heart
     and my life.
I know, hard it is to judge bad and good.
Yet I always style myself as a man of knowledge
     and wisdom-sky.
