Manushi drishti kata je bhranta
Kata je mulyahin
Kata kalpana raimya nagari
Dhulai hayeche lin
Tabu keno hai giti utsab
Dike dike alo mala
Bijoy nishan puja ayojan
Pulaka barana dala

How false is human vision!
How meaningless is human vision!
Wonder-cities of imagination-creation
Are all buried in the dust of oblivion.
Yet human souls derive much joy
From hoisting the victory-banner
And garlanding the heroes
And offering heart’s love-world.
