Hetha    je gaan gaaite aasa, aamar hoy ni se gaan gaawa -
Aajo     keboli sur saadha, aamar kebol gaaite chaawa.
Aamar    laage naai se sur, aamar bnaadhe naai se katha,
Shudhu    praaneri maajhkhane aachhe gaaner byakulata.
Aajo    phote naai se phul, shudhu bohechhe ek haawa.
Aami    dhekhi naai taar mukh, aami shuni naai taar baani,
Kebol    shuni khane khane taahar paayer dhwonikhani.
Aamar    dwaarer samukh diye se jan kare aasa-jaawa.
Shudhu    aason paata holo aamar saarati din dhore -
Ghare     hoy ni prodip jwaala, taare daakbo kemon kore.
Aachhi     paabar aasha niye, taare hoy ni aamar paawa.
