3. I love this world

Bhalobasi dharanire
Taito ami asbo phire
Bhalobasi jiban khela
Charidike ashar mela

I love this world,
Therefore, I shall come back.
I love the game of life.
Here I see nothing
    But the hope-fair.
I love the hunger-heart
    Of this world
And therefore, I shall bring down
With me Infinity’s Nectar-Delight.
