119. Kal ja chila puraskar

```

Kal ja chila puraskar

Aj je taha tiraskar

Ami kare chari kare dhari

Apan bale baran kari

Apan jane gechi bhule

Arire ni kole tule

Je ase se tomar dyuti

Tarei namaskar

```

```

Yesterday what was the supreme reward,

Today that very thing is an object of contempt.

Whom have I to accept and whom have I to reject?

Whom shall I accept as my own?

Alas, I have forgotten my near and dear ones.

I have saluted and embraced my adversaries,

Thinking that whoever comes

Is Your emissary carrying Your Light.

```
