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
From 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.
