"Let my body mingle with the dust of this Land, And let my countrymen walk along my back; Let all the holes in the road of freedom be filled with my blood & bone, And let my life be sacrificed when my people awake into freedom."
(Also quoted during parliamentary sessions as: "Misu Mora Deha E Desha Matire, Desabasi Chali Jaantu Pithire...")
