Ekti Katha Mane Pare

```

Ekti katha mane pare ekti shudhu katha

Ke amare dila mago malin bachalata

Sathi amar chhila mago tomar nirabata

Ke nila ma kere amar hiyar praphullata

```

Translation

```

Only one thought flashes across

my mind, only one thought:

Who has given me such impure power

of talkativeness, this meaningless babble?

Mother, I know my only companion was silence.

Who has taken that silence away from me,

Mother,

And who has taken away the

cheerfulness of my heart? ```
