CC Madhya 2.90

আমি বৃদ্ধ জরাতুর,     লিখিতে কাঁপয়ে কর,
মনে কিছু স্মরণ না হয় ।
না দেখিয়ে নয়নে,     না শুনিয়ে শ্রবণে,
তবু লিখি’ — এ বড় বিস্ময় ॥ ৯০ ॥
āmi vṛddha jarātura,likhite kāṅpaye kara,
mane kichu smaraṇa nā haya
nā dekhiye nayane,
nā śuniye śravaṇe,
tabu likhi’ — e baḍa vismaya

Translation

I have now become too old and disturbed by invalidity. While I write, my hands tremble. I cannot remember anything, nor can I see or hear properly. Still I write, and this is a great wonder.
