Chokher aaloy dekhechhilem chokher baahire.
Antare aaj dekhbo, jakhan aalok naahi re.
Dharay jakhon daao na dhara  hriday takhon tomay bhara,
Ekhon tomar aapan aaloy tomay chaahi re.
Tomay niye khelechhilem khelar gharete.
Khelar putul bhenge gechhe prolay jharete.
Thaak tabe sei kebol khela, hok na ekhon praaner mela -
Taarer beena bhaanglo, hriday-binay gaahi re.
