बने बने भ्रमि भ्रमि
गण्ड-कुहुके न भ्रमि
बहु बाधा अतिक्रमि
स्वच्छ जीबने,

चालिछि दूर सरणी
नत बदने ।
जनम करुछि सफळ,
तोय दाने तोषि तीरबासी सकळ ॥

Bane bane bhrami bhrami
Gaņđa-kuhuke na bhrami
Bahu bādhā atikrami

Janama karuchi saphaļa /
Toya-dāne toshi tīra-basī sakaļa //

TAMASĀ NADĪ
ENGLISH Translation By : Dr. Harekrishna Meher
RIVER TAMASĀ
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Wandering over several woods wide,
never wavering astray
by illusion of any gorge,
surmounting many an impediment
in my life limpid,
never deeming darkness
as a distress,
never thinking light
to be a delight,
for a remote way
ahead I’ve continued to forge
with my head humbly bent.
Gratifying every bank-dweller
with offering of water,
fruitfulness of my birth
I’m realizing worth.

TAMASĀ NADĪ
HINDI Translation By : Dr. Harekrishna Meher
तमसा नदी
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
घूमती फिरती वन-वन में
गण्ड-कुहुक में न उलझ,
कई बाधाएँ करके पार
अपने निर्मल जीवन में, 
न दुःख मान अन्धकार,
प्रकाश न सुख समझ
चली हूँ दूर रास्ते नम्र मस्तक ।
जन्म कर रही हूँ सार्थक
नीर-दान से निरन्तर
सभी तटवासियों के मानस में तृप्ति भर ॥

TAMASĀ NADĪ
SANSKRIT Translation By : Dr. Harekrishna Meher
तमसा नदी
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
भ्रामं भ्रामं वने वने
गण्ड-कुहकेषु न भ्रमन्त्यहं
विलङ्घ्य विविध-बाधा-निवहं 
सुविमले मम जीवने ।
ध्वान्तं न दुःखं गणयन्ती
प्रकाशं न सुखं भावयन्ती
दूर-मार्गमग्रे सरामि नम्रानना निरलसम् ।
विदधामि सार्थकतां जन्मनः
सन्तोषयन्ती नीर-दानैरात्मनः
सकल-कूल-सन्निवासिनां मानसम् ॥
