11. Shikkha Guru

```

Shikkha Guru dikkha Guru

Nutan jiban halo suru

Shikkha Guru dikkha Guru

Habona ar kabhu viru

Paye dale agyanata

Tomai dibo saphalata

```

Translation

```

O my teacher-Guru, O my initiation-Guru,

A new life has dawned.

O my teacher-Guru, O my initiation-Guru,

I shall no longer make friends with cowardice.

I shall kick off ignorance-night

And offer you my success-life.

```
