Kanti Kothai Kanti

```

Kanti kothai kanti

Shanti kothai shanti

Na pai tader darashan

Charidike hai bhranti

Bhrantir dangshan

Ananda samapan

```

Translation

```

Where is beauty?

Where is beauty?

Where is peace?

Where is peace?

I see them not.

They are far beyond my ken.

I see only mistakes.

All around me mistakes are biting me.

They have put an end to my life of joy. ```
