E ki andhokar e bhaarotbhumi !
Bujhi, pita, taare chhere gechho tumi.
Proti pole pole dube rosatole -    ke taare uddhar koribe.
Chaaridike chaai, naahi heri goti.   Naahi je ashsroy, asohaay oti.
Aaji e aandhare bipodopaathare     kaahar charon dhoribe.
Tumi chaao pita, ghuchao e dukh.    Abhaaga deshere hoyo na bimukh -
Nohile aandhare bipodopaathare    kaahar choron dhoribe.
Dekho cheye tabo sahosro sontan    laaje natoshir, bhoye kompomaan.
Knaadichhe sohichhe shato apomaan -    laaj maan aar thaake na.
Hinota loyechhe maathay tuliya,    tomare taai giyachhe bhuliya,
Dayamoy bole aakulohridaye    tomareo taara daake na.
Tumi chaao pita, tumi chaao chaao.    E hinota-paap e dukkho ghuchao.
Lolate kalonko muchhao muchhao -    nohile e desh thaake na.
Tumi jabe chile punyobhabone,    ki sourabhosudha bohito pabone,
Ki aanondogaan utthito gagone,     ki protibhajoyti jholito.
Bhaarot-aronye rishider gaan    anontosadone korito proyaan -
Tomare chaahiya punyopath diya    sokole miliya cholito.
Aaji ki hoyechhe !   Chaao pita chaao.   E taap e paap e dukkho ghuchao.
Mora to royechhi tomari sontan    jodiyo hoyechhi potito.
