Moi ghumai thaka homoi te moi koi, ‘Kitia moi uthibo?’ Kintu rati to lamba hoi thake, aru phojur nohua tak moi ephale-uphale ghuri thake. Moi laga gau-mangso to puka khan aru mati laga dela khan pora dhakai ase; moi laga chamra tu tan hoi jai, titia aru phati jai. Moi laga din khan kapor buna laga suta-kathi pora bhi joldi ase, aru eitu khan asha nathaki kene khotom hoi jai. Moi laga jivon to khali ekta saas he ase koi kene yaad koribi; moi aru kitia bhi bhal eku nadekhibo. etiya moi ke dekha suku tu aru moi ke nadekhibo; apuni laga suku moi uporte thakibo, kintu moi harai jabo. Ekta badol jonka harai aru nasto hoi juwa nisena, tenekena kobor te nami juwa manuh aru uthi nahhe; tar ghor te aru wapas nahhe, aru tar jaga tu aru tar ke najane.

“Etiya nimite moi laga mukh bondho nakoribo; moi laga atma laga dukh pora moi kobo, moi laga mon laga tita pora moi dukh laga kotha koi thakibo. Moi samundar ase ne, nahole samundar laga dangor janwar ase ne, je apuni moi uporte ekjon pohora rakhise? Moi koi thaka homoi te, ‘Moi laga bisana pora moi ke aram dibo, moi laga soya jaga pora moi laga dukh komai dibo,’ titia apuni sapna khan pora moi ke bhoi khilai, aru darshan khan pora moi ke bhoi lagai dei, teneka moi laga eitu gau pora bhi, gola chipa aru mrityu he moi basi lobo. Moi khotom hoi ase; moi hodai nimite nathakibo. Moi ke chari dibi, kilemane moi laga din khan to ekta saas he ase.

“Manuh to ki ase, je apuni tar ke eneka dangor bhabe, aru apuni laga mon tar uporte rakhe, je apuni har phojur te tar ke saboloi ahe, aru har homoi te tar ke porikhya kore? Kitia tak apuni moi pora suku ghurai nalobo, aru moi laga thuk gilibole homoi tak moi ke chari nadibo? Jodi moi paap korise, moi apuni ke ki korise, he manuh khan ke sa-rukha jon? Kilekaran apuni moi ke apuni laga nishana bonaise, teneka moi nijor nimite ekta boja hoi jaise? Kilekaran apuni moi laga paap maph nakore aru moi laga golti ulai nadei? Kilemane joldi moi mati te ghumai jabo; apuni moi ke bisaribo, kintu moi harai jabo.”
