Lyrics:
1. Mor Asha Nadi Sukhaye Jai Nirash Maru
Mor asha nadi shukhaye jai
Nirash maru bhume
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Four Hundred Blue-Green-White-Red Soul-Birds, Part 2’ songbook
2. My Hope-River Is Getting Dry
My hope-river is getting dry
In the cheerless desert-land.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Four Hundred Blue-Green-White-Red Soul-Birds, Part 2’ songbook
3. Shunte Barai Madhur Lage Amar Hiyar Amar
Shunte barai madhur lage
Amar hiyar amar banshi
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Four Hundred Blue-Green-White-Red Soul-Birds, Part 2’ songbook
4. Pleasant, All Pleasant
Pleasant, all pleasant,
My heart’s deathless flute-melody.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Four Hundred Blue-Green-White-Red Soul-Birds, Part 2’ songbook
5. Nil Akasher Megher Phanke
Nil akasher megher phanke
Oi heri kar alo tari
Sethai amai jete habe
Sakal byetha baran kari
Maran majhe pete habe
Maran hiner asha alo
Prabhur lagi tyaji e pran
Guchabo mor sakal kalo
Translation:
Whose light-boat does my vision capture
In the flights of clouds?Accepting all pangs of the world
I shall have to appear there
In the heart of death.
I must receive the hope-light of the deathless world.
I shall sacrifice my life for my Beloved Supreme
And end my life of ignorance-night.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Supreme, I Sing Only for You’ songbook
