Ekbar balo sokhi, bhaalobaso more -
Rekho na pheliya aar sandeher ghore.
Sokhi, chhelebela hote    songsarer pathe pathe
Mithya morichika loye jepechhi samay.
Paari ne paari ne aar -   esechhi tomar dwaar -
Ekbar balo, sokhi, dibe ki aashroy.
Sohechhi chhalona eto, bhoy hoy taai
Sotyokaar sukh bujhi e kapale naai.
Bohudin ghumoghore   dubaye raakhiya more
Abosheshe jaagayo na nidarun ghaay.
Bhaalobese thaako jodi lawo lawo ei hridi -
Bhagno churno daghdo ei hriday aamar
E hridoy chaao jodi lawo upohaar.
