Ke Jane Deher Parinati

```

Ke jane deher parinati

Dudin pare ki habe tar gati

Dehir sathe hale parichoy

Deha gele ar karina bhoy

Deha chini dehi amar par

Shudhu deha niye taito kari ghar

Bhule thaki deher parinati

Taito amar hoina urdhagati

```

Translation

```

Who does not know the end of a human body,

What will happen to the body at long last?

When I become acquainted with the embodied soul,

I become aware of the body,

But not of what is inside the body.

Therefore, I always sport with the body

And I forget that the body will one day expire.

Therefore, I make no upward progress.

```
