Basonte aaj dharaar chitto holo utala,
Buker pare dole    dole dole    dole re taar poranputola.
Aananderi chhobi dole   diganteri kole kole,
Gaan dulichhe    dole dole    gaan dulichhe nil-aakasher hriday-utala.
Aamar duti mugdho nayon nidra bhulechhe.
Aaji aamar hridaydolay ke go dulichhe.
Duliye dilo sukher raasi    lukiye chhilo jotek haasi -
Duliye dilo   dole dole    duliye dilo janomo-bhara byatha atola.
