You are the one sure refuge

(1963)  Eka tumi vaibe kena sab bojha

You alone, the whole weight why will You carry?
Upon also my pate, do give a bit,
Graciously You gave that capacity.

Only due to You am I strong...
With just Your power, on the path I walk;
And my intellect, it too is Yours,
Laughing and dancing around You only.

Except for You no one else is mine...
Yes, all are friends in happy times;
But in times of sorrow, You alone do I find–
Both living and dying are with You only.
