Kal ja chhila puraskar
Aj je taha tiraskar
Ami kare chari kare dhari
Apan bale baran kari
Apan jane gechhi bhule
Arire ni kole tule
Je ase se tomar dyuti
Tarei namaskar

Yesterday what was the supreme reward,
Today that very thing is an object of contempt.
Whom have I to accept and whom have I to reject?
Whom shall I accept as my own?
Alas, I have forgotten my near and dear ones.
I have saluted and embraced my adversaries,
Thinking that whoever comes
Is Your emissary carrying Your Light.
