Lyrics of GANGA BEHTI HO KYUN? with English translation
Bisterno varorey, afankhya janore, hahakar sunio nisabdth nirovey,
Bhural *** tumhi, bhural *** bura ki aur.
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
your expanse is unreachable, the public on both sides is wailing silently
Oh ganga tum, oh ganga behti ho kyun?..
O Ganges, why do you flow
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Naitikta nasht ***, manavta bhrasht ***,
morality is destroyed, humanity has been corrupted
nirlajj bhav se behti ho kyun?..
why do you flow in this shameless way
Itihas ki pukar, kare hunkar,
the call of history is roaring
oh ganga ki dhar, nirbal jan ko, sabalsangrami, samagrogrami, banati nahi ho kyun?.
Oh flow of Ganges, why don't you make the weak people stronger, make the villagers unite to fight for their rights
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, oh ganga behti ho kyun?..
Anparjan, aksharheen, anginjan, khadyoviheen, neatravhiheen,
innumerable people are illiterate, letterless, without food, blind,
dikshmon ho kyun?.
Why are you not teaching them the path?
Itihas ki pukar, kare hunkar, oh ganga ki dhar, nirbal jan ko, sabalsangrami, samagrogrami, banati nahi ho kyun?.
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
vayakti rahey, vayakshti nirvighn, sakalsamaj, vayakshtitva rahit,
people stay without sufficient income, the entire society is economically challenged
nishpran samaj, upbhoktina kyun?..
society is lifeless, why are you unaware / unfeeling of this?
Itihas ki pukar, kare hunkar, oh ganga ki dhar, nirbal jan ko, sabalsangrami, samagrogrami, banati nahi ho kyun?.
Vistar hai apar, praza dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Tejasvini, kyun na rahin,
why did you not stay full of glory
tum nishchay, chintan nahin,
you are decided, no worries
prano mey prerna deti na kyun?
why don't you give inspiration to life
Tum madhyavami, kurushetra grami, gangey janani, navbharat mey, bhismarupi sutsamrajey, janati nahi ho kyun?.
you are flowing through the middle, seen the villages of Kurushetra (where Mahabharat took place), mother of Bhishm (great uncle of Pandavs & Kauravs), in this new India why don't you give birth to sons like Bhishm again?
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Vistar hai apar, praja dono par, kare hahakar ni sabdth sada,
Oh ganga tum, ganga tum, ganga tum, oh ganga tum, ganga tum, ganga behti ho kyun?..
Ganga behti ho kyun?Thakns Madhu ji for translation of the beautiful lyrics

He is immensely popular, touching on reverence, in the states of Assam, West Bengal as well as in neighbouring Bangladesh.
