Humans + Last Kiss (a photograph) + Ho`tobhaga (Luckless)

 
Humans
  
It's not about Arab or Jew, my friend,
It's more about humans and whether we'll end.
It's not about Hindu or Muslim or Serb,
It's more about children and what they deserve.

Luckless

Oh, you luckless human race,
You've drowned your hope from sin.
When will you have peace and so
Escape this plight you're in?

Poor, Luckless, Unfortunate, Forsaken, Accursed

Oh luckless human race,
Sin's weight-from sunk-you hope.
Come-will when peace mind-in?
End-will when this hopelessness?


Ho`tobhaga                        

Hae, ho`tobhaga manux jati,    
paper bhare d'ubale axa.        
Axbe ko`khon xanti mone?      
Cukbe ko`be ei niraxa?
                 


হতভাগা

হায়, হতভাগা মানুষ জাতি,
পাপের ভারে ডুবালে আশা৷
আসবে কখন শান্তি মনে?
চুকবে কবে এই নিরাশা?

Hatabhāgā

Hāẏa, hatabhāgā mānuṣa jāti,
pāpēra bhārē ḍubālē āśā.
Āsabē kakhana śānti manē?
Cukabē kabē ē'i nirāśā?
