Shudhu Sei Din Dekhi Jibaner Bhor

```

Shudhu sei din dekhi jibaner bhor

Aj heri shudhu maraner kalo ghor

Shudhu sei din chhila mor nam asha

Aj mor nam hatasha hriday bhasha

Shudhu sei din sonali swapan sathi

Charidhare aj bastabatar rati

```

Translation

```

Only the other day I saw

My life’s hallowed dawn.

Today I see death’s tenebrous darkness.

Only the other day my name was hope.

Today I have become

A broken heart-world.

Only the other day my friend

Was a sweet and golden dream.

Today I see all-where

The reality-night.

```
