Ke Oi Dake Aire Bacha Ai

Ke oi dake aire bacha ai
Mayer katha jena shona jai
Kahar seba karte ese
Achi rato kahar sebai
Dhaner lobhe maner lobhe
Mago ar na jena din jai

Translation

Who calls to me,
“My child, come, come”?
I came into the world
To serve the Mother.
Alas, whom do I serve now?
I serve ignorance-night,
I serve material-wealth,
I serve human-pride.
Mother, may I not any more waste
My precious aspiration-life.
