तमसा नदी

बने बने भ्रमि भ्रमि

गण्ड-कुहुके न भ्रमि

बहु बाधा अतिक्रमि

स्वच्छ जीबने,

अन्धार दुःख न गणि

आलोक सुख न मणि

चालिछि दूर सरणी

नत बदने ।

जनम करुछि सफळ,

तोय दाने तोषि तीरबासी सकळ ॥

Bane bane bhrami bhrami

Gaņđa-kuhuke na bhrami

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 ॥
