Basana Hase Basana Kande

```

Basana hase basana kande

Basana base bhalo

Usha debir mridu hasi

Gahan timir kalo

Akuti uthe akash pane

Basana prane hani

Basana moha ek nimeshe

Churna habe jani

```

Translation

```

My desire smiles and my desire cries.

My desire loves the sweet smile

Of the goddess dawn

And the darkness

Of dark night.

I know not how and why

My aspiration-flame is climbing up

To reach the skies.

I know in a twinkling

My desire-world

Will come to its final end. ```
