Alo mor nibe jai barebare
Kuruper bibhishika karagare
Asha dheu tabu ache sathe sathe
Taba dekha pabo ami madhu prate

Again and again my life-lamp blows out
In the prison-cell
Of fiery and frightening
Ugliness-impurity.
Yet the waves of hope never leave me,
They are all around me.
I know well I shall see You
In the golden morn.
