Era kara ghiriche mor man
Charidike abar abaran
Abar mane na na katha jame
Chinta pakhi nana dike bhrame
Kamana mor shata dike dhai krame
Keba jane kothai amar sharan

I do not know who are these beings
That capture my mind,
That bring countless thoughts and ideas
Into my mind.
My thought-bird flies all around.
Alas, I do not know
If there will be any shelter
Anywhere in God’s entire creation.
