87. Ami sukhere dharite dukhere dhariche

```

Ami sukhere dharite dukhere dhariche

Asha haye geche dukh

Hasha bedane shata nipiyane

Bhenge geche mor buk

Dubibar age dhariya chi hat

Dubite daoni jale

Tai dayamoi jiban amar

Sampinu charan tale

```

```

I desired to grasp happiness.

Alas, all I have grasped is a sky of sorrow.

All my hopes have grown into

Fathomless pangs.

My aspiration-heart is thrown into

The jaws of destruction-night.

Yet my perishing life stretches

Its arms towards You

For Your Protection-Feet. ```
