```
Shudhu asha shudhu asha shudhu ashaE jiban nadi mor sarba nasha
Nayan samukhe alik swapanPratikkhan 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 deathDay in and day out.
