Ei to tomar aalokdhenu surjo taara dole dole -
Kothay bose baajao benu, charao mohagagontole.
Triner saari tulchhe maatha, torur shaakhe shyamal paata -
Aaloy chora dhenu era bhir korechhe phule phole.
Sakalbela dure dure uriye dhuli kothay chhote,
Aandhar hole snaajher sure phiriye aano aapon gotthe.
Aasha trishaa aamar jato ghure beray kothay kato -
Mor jibaner raakhal ogo daak debe ki sondhya hole ?
