```
Jani ami ei deha pran manSukh dukh ar jiban maran
Gara ar bhenge phelaEto dudiner mela
Dekhite dekhite phurai belaBhenge jai sab sadher mela
Prabhu e lilar kiba prayojanSadhan bhajan sab akaran
```Translation
```
I know my body, vital and mind,Joy and sorrow, life and death,
Are but creation and destruction games.This is a fair that lasts
Only for a short span of time.The fleeting time
In hot haste expires.Desire-attachment day
Is a fruitless reality.Lord Supreme,
What is the use of this game?Aspiration and dedication are of no avail.
