Bhitar bahir dibas ratiChhilam dushtu shishu
Tabu ami tomar koleChhilam tomar Jishu
```Translation:
```
Day and nightMy infant inner life and my infant outer life
Became my two perfect mischief-prank-victims.Yet, I know not how I was found
In your Elysian affection-flooded lap,Like Jesus of his Mother Mary.

My Mother Yogamaya,You were your compassion-eyes.
Your tiny and fragile earth-frameGave birth to a vastness-heart.

Happiness runs to-and-fro inside my heartWhen of You I speak.
Your silence-eye from Heaven descendsAnd blossoms inside my heart-garden.

Dharar buke esechileEksa sarat age
Tomar smriti smaran kariBaroi anurage
```Translation:
```
Into the world you cameTo be a member of the earth-family
For fifty fleeting years,And your Heaven-return now completes
One hundred years — one long century.Your sweetness-reminiscences tearfully gladden
And enlighten us — all your dear ones.```
