Bondhu, kiser tare oshru jhore, kiser laagi dirghoshwas.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.
Rikto jaara sarbohaara sarbojoyi bishwe taara,
Garbomoyi bhaagyodebir noyko taara kritodas.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Aamra sukher sphito bukher chhaayar tale naahi chori
Aamra dukher bakro mukher chakro dekhe bhoy na kori.
Bhagno dhaake jathasaadhyo baajiye jaabo joybadyo,
Chhinno aashar dhwaja tule bhinno korbo neelaakash.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Hey alokkhi, rukkhokeshi, tumi debi achanchala.
Tomar riti saral oti, naahi jaano chhalakala.
Jwaalao pete ognikana naaiko taahe protarana,
Taano jakhon maron-phaansi balo naaiko mishtabhaas.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Dharar jara sera sera maanush taara tomar ghare.
Taader kotthin shajyakhani taai petechho moder tare.
Aamra baroputra tabo jaahai dibe taahahi labo,
Tomay dibo dhanyodwoni maathay bohi sarbonaash.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Jouboraajyo bosiye de ma, lokkhichhaarar singhasane.
Bhango kulay koruk paakha tomar jato bhrityogone.
Dagdho bhaale prolayshikha dik ma, eke tomar tika,
Parao sojja lajjahaara -  jirnokantha chhinnobaas.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Lukok tomar donka shune kapot sokhar shunyo haasi.
Palak chhute puchho tule mithya chaatu makka-kaashi.
Atmoparer-probhed-bhola jirno duwar nityo khola,
Thaakbe tumi thaakbo aami samanbhabe baaro maash.
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Shanka-taras lajja-sharomchukiye delem stuti-ninde.
Dhulo se tor paayer dhulo taai mekhechhi bhaktobrinde.
Aashare koi, 'Tthaakurani, tomar khela onek jaani,
Jaahar bhaagye sakol phnaaki taareo phnaaki dite chaas.'
Haasyamukhe adrishtore korbo mora porihas.

Mrityu jedin bolbe 'Jaago, probhat holo tomar raati'
Nibiye jaabo aamar gharer chandro surjyo duto baati.
Aamra dnohe gneshagneshi chirodiner protibeshi,
Bondhubhaabe kontthe se mor joriye debe baahupaash -
Bidaykaale adrishtere kore jaabo porihas.
