Ogo Nirakar Chile Ekakar

```

Ogo nirakar chile ekakar

Kena e rachana, eta prarochana

Kena e tatini ban

Kena bahi samiran

Kena shato bhoi kena byadhi jara

Kena kande sada janani basundhara

Dudiner tare ese

Mora sabe kende hese

Nahi jani kotha habo ekakar

```

Translation

```

O formless One, alone You were.

Why have You become many?

Why?

What motivated You to grow

Into many forms and shapes?

Why have You created

Murmuring rivers and thick forests

And wild wind?

Why, why?

Why have You created teeming fears,

Ailments countless?

Why, why?

Why does Mother Earth untiringly cry?

Just for a short time

We enter into the world-arena and depart.

We know not why.

But the hope of oneness

Permeates our entire existence-reality.

```
