Sima jadi hai asimer prane nahi base kabhu bhalo
Asimer pran kemane nashibe simar manas kalo
Antaratame je dakena kabhu je rahe niyata dure
Jiban je tar habe bilupta mithya dainya pure

Alas, if the finite never loves the Infinite,
How can the Infinite destroy the
     darkness in the mind of the finite?
He who does not invoke the Inner Pilot
     and always remains afar,
His life is bound to be lost in the
     city of falsehood and destitution.
