Lyrics

Ami sukhere dharite dukhere dharechhi 
Asha haye gechhe dukh 
Hatasha bedane shata nipirane 
Bhenge gechhe mor buk 
Dubibar age dhariyachho hat
Dubite daoni jale 
Tai dayamoy jiban amar 
Sampinu charan tale

Translation

I desired to grasp happiness.
Alas, all I have grasped is a sky of sorrow.
All my hopes have grown into fathomless pangs.
My aspiration-heart is thrown into
The jaws of destruction-night.
Yet my perishing life stretches 
Its arms towards You
For Your Protection-Feet.
