Jiban nadi
Kon pathe jai ke jane
Kahar pane kahar tane
Ke jane go ke jane
Kon sagarer bukhe thakte chahe lukhe
Ke jane ke jane go ke jane

Who knows, Oh, who knows
Which way the life-river flows,
Being pulled by whom
And towards whom?
Who knows, Oh, who knows
In the heart-depth of which ocean
My heart-river wants to lose
Its existence-life?
Who knows, Oh, who knows?
