Chokkhe aamar trishna,  ogo trishna aamar bokkho jure.
Aami bristibiheen boishakhee din,  santape praan jaay je pure.
Jhar utthechhe tapto haaway haaway,  monke sudur shunye dhaaway -
Abogunthan jaay je ure.
Je phul kaanon korto aalo,
Kaalo hoye se shukalo.
Jharnare ke dilo baadha -   nishtthur paashane bnaadha
Dukkher shikharochure.
