Puratan Smriti Mane Mor Jage

```

Puratan smriti mane mor jage

Bahu puratan smriti

E dharar lagi atmatyajiya

Chahi nai kabhu priti

Nahi jani hai dainya kemane

Hanila aghat shire

Bishal hriday jachi ami mago

Phirite shanti nire

```

Translation

```

Today my old reminiscences take shelter

in my mind.

I have offered myself to please this world,

Yet I have not asked for its love in return.

I do not know why I am in the poverty-world today.

I need world-appreciation.

O Mother of the Universe, I need a boundless heart.

What for? To enter into the nest,

Illumining and fulfilling, of Yours. ```
