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.

```
