Swarga duare taba madhu bani shunechhi
Martyer ghare taba ankhi duti dekhechhi
Swarge balechhi ami shudhu toma lagiya
Martye ekhano uthi nai ami jagiya

I have heard Your ambrosial Message
At Heaven’s door.
I have seen Your Feet divine
In earth’s home.
In Heaven I told You that
I was only for You.
Alas, on earth I am still
Enjoying imponderable
Ignorance-sleep.
