Swarga duare taba madhumoy bani shunechi
Martyer ghare taba ankhi duti dekhechi
Swarge balechi 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.
