Lyrics:
1. Asha Diye Tumi Kena Dure Chale Jao
Asha diye tumi kena dure chale jao
Ei pralobhane ananda bhuji pao
Translation:
O my sweet Lord,
You feed me with ceaseless hopes.
Yet why do You run away
Far, very far, from me?
Do You really get joy
From this Temptation-Play of Yours?
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Journey’s Ecstasy’ songbook
2. Asha Nadi Baye Jai
Asha nadi baye jai asha nadi
Hasi parabar ajanar kole
Asha sathe ami kandi nirabadhi
Prabhu sathe nachi ananda dole
Translation:
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.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Supreme, Teach Me How to Cry’ songbook
3. Asha Nadi Asha Nadi
Asha nadi asha nadi
Dure dure bahu dure
Ajanar shesh simanai
Niye chalo more
Translation:
O Hope-River,
Carry me to the ultimate Beyond
Of Infinity Unknown.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 1’ songbook
4. Asha Nadi Chhute Chale Hangsare Bese
Asha nadi chhute chale
Hangsare bese bhalo
Tai mor man akashe
Nahi bhase megh kalo
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Consciousness-Sky’ songbook
