Transliteration in English

Nupuro beje jaay rinirini.
Aamar mon koy chini chini.
Gandho rekhe jaay modhubaaye    maadhobibitanero chhaaye chhaaye,
Dharoni shihoray paaye paaye,    kalose kankone kinikini.
Paarulo shudhailo, ke tumi go,    ajana kaanoner maayamrigo.
Kaamini phulokulo baroshichhe,    pabono elochul paroshichhe,
Aandhare taaraguli harosichhe,    jhilli jhanokichhe jhinijhini.
