Dudin par phuraye jai
Jiban abhinoyPraner asha maner swapan
Sakali sanchoiDhaner gorob jasher gorob
Bhasma haye sabi pure jaiShudhu thake manob asahai

```
The life-drama endsAfter a short time.
The hope of human heartAnd the dream of human mind,
And all that is garneredIn human life —
Pride and self-givingPride and self-esteem
Will all end in a fruitless smoke.Yet man will eternally treasure
The endless chain of hope-life. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, New York, 1976
