```
Ke oi dake aire bacha aiMayer katha jena shona jai
Kahar seba karte eseAchi rato kahar sebai
Dhaner lobhe maner lobheMago ar na jena din jai
```Translation
```
Who calls to me,“My child, come, come”?
I came into the worldTo 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 wasteMy precious aspiration-life.
