Chhi chhi sakha,       ki korile, kon praane paroshile -
Kaminikusum chhilo bon aalo koriye.
Maanush-parosh-bhore       shihoriya sokatare
Oi-je shatodha hoye porilo go jhoriya.
Jaano to kaamini-soti       komal kusum oti -
Dur hote dekhibaar, chnuibaar nohe se.
Dur hote mridu baaye       gandho taar diye jaay,
Kaachhe gele maanusher shwaas naahi sohe se.
Modhuper padokhepe       poritechhe knepe knepe,
Kaatar hotechhe kato probhater somire.
Paroshite robikar       shukaichhe kolebor,
Shishirer bhartuku sohichhe na shorire.
Heno komolotamoy       phul ki na chhnule noy -
Haay re kemon bon chhilo aalo koriya.
Maanush-parosh-bhore       shihoriya sokatare
Oi-je shatodha hoye porilo go jhoriya.
Oi-je shatodha hoye porilo go jhoriya.
