Ashar Jibane Krandan

Ashar jibane krandan

Swapane parane bandhan

Jibaner bhore maran

Charidike nache bedan

```

Translation

```

The life of hope

Is tortured by bitter tears.

The life of dream

Is devoured by wondrous night.

At the dawn of life

Is the stark frown of death.

Destruction-blows are dancing all around. ```
