ETERNAL
Original : Assamese : Guna Moran
Translation : Bibekananda Choudhury
Who planted the Sun in the sky
The world keep revolving around him
Who taught us to love light
We keep seeking light in darkness
Who sermoned us to be a decent fellow always
We constantly effort to be so the entire life
Who did plant the sapling of love
So many branches of love sprout in the heart
Who blended beauty in the air
Life is not bearable if beauty is not inhaled
Who advised to be benevolent to be happy
Try to be happy being benevolent
Who did smear colour of shyness all over the body
Fell so ashamed at all those unsocial activities
