Aasharh kotha hote aaj peli chhaara.
Maatther sheshe shyamol beshe khonek dnaara.
Joyodhwaja oi je tomar gagon jure.
Pub hote kon poshchimete jaay re ure,
Guru guru bheri kaare dey je saara.
Naacher nesha laaglo taaler paatay paatay,
Haawar dolay dolay shaaler bonke maatay.
Aakash hote aakashe kaar chhutochhuti,
Bone bone megher chhaayai lutoputi -
Bhora nodir dheuye dheuye ke dey naara.
