ପିଲାଦିନ ଆମ ଫେରାଇ ଦିଅ ॥
ପିଲାଦି ଦିନ ଆମ ଫେରାଇ ଦିଅ
ଲୋଡ଼ାନାହିଁ କିଛି ଆଉ,
ଖେଳ ତାମସାରେ ସମୟ କଟାଇ
ବଞ୍ଚୁବାକୁ ଆମେ ଚାହୁଁ ॥
ସୁବିଧା ସୁଯୋଗ ଲୋଡ଼ାନାହିଁ କିଛି
ଭାଙ୍ଗିତୁଟି ସବୁ ଯିବ,
ସ୍ନେହ ଶ୍ରଦ୍ଧା ଆଉ ଆପଣାପଣଟି
ସଦା ବଞ୍ଚ୍ ରହିଥିବ ॥
ବାପାଙ୍କ ତାଗିଦ୍ ବୋଉର ପଣତ
ମିଳିବ ଆମକୁ ଯଦି,
ସାରା ସଂସାରକୁ ହାତରେ ରଖୁକି
ଆସିବୁ ନିମିଷେ ଖେଦି |॥

DO RETURN OUR CHILDHOOD.
Yes, do return us our childhood prime,
For, we need nothing else except this,
So that we can spend our precious time
On games, funs, merriments and frolics.
We need no other perks or privileges,
For, they're all temporary on Time's pages
Unlike love, affection, affinity and closeness
What's truly eternal and past any decadence.
Should we be blessed with father's admonitions
And the mother's omnipotent, magical protections,
The entire globe will be explored faster than the speed of light,
And no powers on earth can vanquish our unconquerable might.
