Shudhu Asha Shudhu Asha

Shudhu asha shudhu asha shudhu asha
E jiban nadi mor sarba nasha
Nayan samukhe alik swapan
Pratikkhan prane shaman jatan

Translation

Hope, nothing but hope;
This life-river of mine
Is meeting with destruction.
My eyes see nothing but false dream.
My heart is tortured by ruthless death
Day in and day out.
