Maraner banshi jibane bajate chahi

Hatashai bhara pran

Asha pakhi mriyaman

Binasher gan bhore sandhyai gahi

```

Translation

```

I want to play the flute of death

In my reality-life.

Day in and day out,

I sing the song of utter destruction-night.

Despondency is another name for my heart.

My hope-bird is almost dead.

```
