Basontoprobhate ek maalotir phul
Prothom melilo aankhi taar,    chaahiya dekhilo chaaridhaar.
Ushaaraani dnaaraiya shoyore taahar.
Dekhichhe phuler ghum-bhanga.    Haroshe kapol taar ranga.
Modhukor gaan geye bole.    'Modhu koi. Modhu daao daao.'
Haroshe hriday phete giye    phul bole, 'Ei lawo lawo.'
Baayu aasi kahe kaane kaane,    'Phulobala porimol daao.'
Aanonde knaadiya kohe phul,    'Jaaha aachhe sob loye jaao.'
Harosh dhore na taar chite,    aaponare chaahe bilayite,
Baalika aanonde kuti-kuti    paatay paatay pore luti.
