Dudin Par Phuraye Jai
Dudin par phuraye jai
Jiban abhinoy
Praner asha maner swapan
Sakali sanchoy
Dhaner garob jasher garob
Ahamikar mittya bhoy bal
Bhasma haye sabi pure jai
Shudhu thake manob asahai
Translation
The life-drama ends
After a short time.
The hope of human heart
And the dream of human mind,
And all that is garnered
In human life —
Pride and self-giving,
Pride and self-esteem,
Will all end in a fruitless smoke.
Yet man will eternally treasure
The endless chain of hope-life.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1978
