Transliteration in English

Ekbar tora ma boliya daak, jagotjoner shrobon jurak,
Himadripaashan knede gole jaak -   mukh tule aaji chaaho re.
Dnaara dekhi tora aatmopor bhuli, hridaye hridaye chhutuk bijuli -
Probhatogagone koti shir tuli nirbhoye aaji gaaho re.
Bish koti kontthe ma bole daakile   romancho utthibe anonto nikhile,
Bish koti chhele maayere gherile   dosh dik sukhe haasibe.
Sedin probhate nutan tapon   notun jibon koribe bapon
E nohe kaahini, e nohe swapon -   aasibe se din aasibe.
Aaponar maaye ma bole daakile,   aaponar bhaaye hridaye raakhile,
Sab paap taap dure jaay chole   punyo premer baatase.
Setha biraje debo-aashribad-     na thaake kaloho, na thaake bishad -
Ghuche apoman, jege otthe praan -   bimolo protibha bikashe.
