Jaara bihaan belay gaan enechhilo aamar mone
Saanjher belay chhaayay taara milaay dhire.
Eka bose aachhi hethay jaatayater pather tire,
Aajke taara elo aamar swapnoloker duwar ghire.
Surhaara sab byatha jato ektara taar khnuje phire.
Proharo-pare prohar je jaay, bose bose kebal goni
Nirabo japer maalar dhwoni andhokarer shire shire.
