Dukhe Achi Seto Bhalo

```

Dukhe achi seto bhalo

Dukhe ami bhalo thaki

Bujechi sukh kebal micha phanki

Susamaye tomai bhule

Nayan mude thaki

Bujechi sukh kebal micha phanki

Dukhe pare praner daye

Tomai mago daki

```

Translation

```

While I suffer,

I enjoy perfect peace.

Unlike joy, suffering

Is a real stranger

To false deception.

While I enjoy,

I keep my eyes shut.

Mother, I fail to see You.

It is only the excruciating pangs

That grant me

The vision to see You,

And invoke You.

```
