Chhaaya ghanayichhe bone bone,    gagone gagone daake deya.
Kabe naboghano-borishone    gopane gopane eli keya.
Purobe nirobo isharaate    ekoda nidrahin raate
Haawate ki pathe dili kheya -
Aasharher kheyaler kon kheya.
Je modhu hridoye chhilo maakha    knaatate ki bhoye dili dhaaka.
Bujhi eli jaar obhisaare    mone mone dekha holo taare,
Aarale aarale deya-neya -
Aapnay lukaye deya-neya.
