Ámi ye rúper padme karechi arúp madhu pán, | |||
Duhkher bakśer májhe ánander peyechi sandhán, | |||
Ananta maoner váńii shunechi antare, | |||
Dekhechi jyotir path shunyamaya ándhár prántare. | |||
Nahi ámi vidhir brhat parihás, | |||
Asim aeshvarya niye racita mahat sarvanásh. | |||

Was I created from boundless wealth, merely for annihilation? | |||
