Transliteration in English

Ogo bodhu sundari,  tumi modhumanjari,
Pulakito champar   laho obhinandano –
Parner paatre   phalgunraatre   mukulito mollika-maalyer bandhano.
Enechhi basonter   anjali gandher,
Palasher kumkum,   chnaadinir chandano –
Paruler hillol,   shirisher  hindol,   manjul ballir bankimo kankano.
Ullas-utorol   benubonokallolo,
Kompita kishaloye malayero chumbano.
Tabo aankhipallabe   diyo aanki ballabhe
Gagoner naboneel   swaponero anjano.
