Ke Oi Dake Aire Bacha Ai

```

Ke oi dake aire bacha ai

Mayer katha jena shona jai

Kahar seba karte ese

Achi rato kahar sebai

Dhaner lobhe maner lobhe

Mago ar na jena din jai

```

Translation

```

Who calls to me,

“My child, come, come”?

I came into the world

To serve the Mother.

Alas, whom do I serve now?

I serve ignorance-night,

I serve material-wealth,

I serve human-pride.

Mother, may I not any more waste

My precious aspiration-life.

```
