Jibane kandibo marane hasibo
Ei asha britha jani
Jibane bandhibo marane khulibo
Ei katha nahi mani
Jibane marane ek kare aj
Laibo bakkhe tani

In life I shall cry, in death I shall smile.
   Fruitless is hope.
In life I shall bind, in death I shall liberate,
   With this I do not agree.
Life and death — I shall make them one
And draw them into my heart.
