Dudiner tare jagate asiya
Dudin ekhane kandiya hasiyaKotha chale jai kichu nahi pai
Tabu bhabi mane amar bihaneDharai ke debe bani
Ami ke janina kichui parinaTabu nite chai sabe tani
Amare karite gorab danEta tuku sukh karibare pan
Sabare aghat hani```

Just for a short visit
We come into the world.Here we cry and smile
And then we do not knowWhere we go.
Yet we think that our presence here on earthIs indispensable.
We do not know who we are,Yet we want to embrace each and every one
As our very own.When we want to glorify our own lives,
Immediately we cast a slurOn our true aspiration-life.
