"Jeevan e aache nana
otha pora, nana haar JEET;
tobu onaar oporeyi bhorsha rekhechilen
sarbobikhyaato, swanaamdhannyo SATYAJIT.
Jeevan toh jano galpo boi er mato,
samay r saathe saathe ajaanteyi
ultey jaaye ek er por ek PAATA;
Apu r abhijaan e, chilo
ashani sanket, emon ki gharey
baairey, chilo sangini, chilo CHARULATA.
Basanta bilaap holeyi je aatonko, je jodi
hoye jaaye saat paake baandha, takhan je
niteyi hobe sathik padokkhep ABOSHESHE;
Kinu gowaala r gali teh thaakena kono kapurush,
kintu ke seyi Ahalya, je Sonar Kella e, jwaalaye
saanjhbaati protidin oi BELASESHE.
Jaibaba Felunath er
saathe hotath dekha bujhi,

holen bujhi jataayu r MITRA;
shesh chithi teh ki, teen bhuban
er paar er aranyer dinraatri r
pratham kadam phool er katha
ullekh korechen SOUMITRA."- Arindam Sain
