Ami Sukhere Dharite Dukhere Dharechhi

```

Ami sukhere dharite dukhere dharechhi

Asha haye gechhe dukh

Hatasha bedane shata nipirane

Bhenge gechhe mor buk

Dubibar age dhariyachho hat

Dubite daoni jale

Tai dayamoy jiban amar

Sampinu charan tale

```

Translation

```

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.

```
