Asha nadi boye jai — Bengali song
Asha nadi boye jai
Asha nadi boye jai asha nadi
Hasi parabar ajanar kole
Asha sathe ami kandi nirabadhi
Prabhu sathe nachi ananda dole
Hope-river flows, hope-river flows.
In the lap of the unknown
Is the river of smile.
At every moment I cry and weep with hope;
Again, it is I who dance with my Lord
In the swing of delight.
