Shudhu sei din dekhi jibaner bhor
Aj heri shudhu maraner kalo ghor
Shudhu sei din chhila mor nam asha
Aj mor nam hatasha hriday bhasha
Shudhu sei din sonali swapan sathi
Charidhare aj bastabatar rati

Only the other day I saw
My life’s hallowed dawn.
Today I see death’s tenebrous darkness.
Only the other day my name was hope.
Today I have become
A broken heart-world.
Only the other day my friend
Was a sweet and golden dream.
Today I see all-where
The reality-night.
