Sabai Jakhan Chai Amare

```

Sabai jakhan chai amare

Takhan tomai chai ki kare

Tai bujhi ma daona dhara

Phirbe amar jirna ghare

Ebar jakhan dakbe tara

Ar debana tader sara

Tanbe jakhan theko amai dhare

Thakbo mago tomar paye pare

```

Translation

```

When everybody wants me,

How can I long for You?

Is it because of that, Mother, You hide from me?

You will return to my small

And broken heart-room.

Mother, this time when others call me,

I shall give no response.

When they pull me to the outer world,

You hold me firm and keep me safe

In my own little aspiring world.

Mother, may my entire life breathe

At Your Feet divine.

```
