Jedike phirai
/Jedike phirai ankhi//Ke jena baliche daki/
/Britha bela baye jai/
/Jib kato asohai/
/Nayan mudiya rakhi/
/Amar ki shunite baki/
/Britha bela bayi jai/
/Kena eta nirupai/
Whichever way I cast my glance
I hear someone whispering.
Time is passing by,
All human beings hopeless and helpless.
I keep my eyes shut.
I have nothing more to hear.
Time is passing by.
Alas, I know not why and how
I am so helplessly and totally lost.
