Asha mor halo ghor nirasha
Tabu prane raje puta pipasa
Asha tumi bujhi habe hatasha
E jibane ache shudhu kuasa

My hope has become hopeless frustration today.
Yet I enjoy pure thirst for the unknown Beyond.
O my hope, it seems that you have become
    Helplessly poor, weak, an orphan.
This life of mine has nothing but tenebrous fog.
