12. Amader ei deha pran man

```

Amader ei deha pran man

Sukh dukh ar jiban maran

Eje bidhatar patul khela

Shudhu gara ar churiya phela

Shudhu dudiner khela

Dekhite dekhite phurabe bela

Tabu eta ayojon

Kita ache prayojon

```

```

Our body, vital and mind,

Life and death,

Are nothing but a grand display of children’s toys.

This moment enjoy them,

Next moment cast them aside.

Every one has a fleeting breath.

Why then such a huge preparation?

```
