Asha Diye Kena

```

Asha diye kena

Amai dure rakho

Hatash kare kena

Amai nahi dako

Sabar piche sabar niche

Jadi rakho tai bhalo

Jani amar sakal andhar

Karbe tumi alo

```

Translation

```

Why do You keep me away

By giving me an endless hope?

Why don’t You give me

A broken heart

And thus bring me close to You?

I am ready to be after everyone

And below everyone

If that is what You want from me.

If this is how You want to bless me

With Your divine Light,

Then I am more than prepared

To abide by Your Will divine.

```
