Hey aakashobihari-niradobahano jal, Aachhilo shoiloshikhare-sikhare tomar lilasthale. Tumi barone barone kirane kirane praate sondhyay orune hirane Diyechho bhaasaye pabone pabone swaponotaronidal. Sheshe shyamolo maatir preme tumi bhule esechile neme, Kabe bnaadha pore gele jekhane dharar gobhir timirotal. Aaj paashanoduwar diyechhi tutiya, kato jug pare esechhe chhutiya Nil gagoner haarano smarono Gaanete samuchhal.
