Ekhon    aar deri noy dhor go tora haate haate dhor go.
Aaj    aapon pathe phirte hobe, saamne milon-swargo.
Ore,    oi utthechhe shankho beje, khullo duwar mondire je -
Lagno boye jaay paachhe bhaai, kothay pujar argho ?
Ekhon    jaar jaa kichhu aachhe ghore   saaja pujar thaalar pore,
Aatmodaaner utsodhaaray mongolghot bhor go.
Aaj    niteo hobe, aaj diteo hobe, deri keno koris tobe -
Bnaachte jodi hoy bneche ne, morte hoy to mor go.
