1. Jani ami ei deha pran man

```

Jani ami ei deha pran man

Sukh dukh ar jiban maran

Gara ar bhenge phela

Eto dudiner mela

Dekhite dekhite phurai bela

Bhenge jai sab sadher mela

Prabhu e lilar kiba prayojan

Sadhan bhajan sab akaran

```

```

I know my body, vital and mind,

Joy and sorrow, life and death,

Are but creation and destruction games.

This is a fair that lasts

Only for a short span of time.

The fleeting time

In hot haste expires.

Desire-attachment day

Is a fruitless reality.

Lord Supreme,

What is the use of this game?

Aspiration and dedication are of no avail. ```
