Hey mor chitto punyo tirthe jaago re dhire
Ei bhaaroter mahamanober saagorotire.
Hethay dnaaraye du bahu baaraye nomi narodebotare -
Udaar chhande paromanande bandan kori tnaare.
Dhyanogombhir ei je bhudhar, nodi japomaala-dhrito praantar,
Hethay nityo hero pobitro dhoritrire -
Ei bhaaroter mahamanober saagorotire.

Keho naahi jaane kaar aahwane kato maanusher dhaara
Durbar srote elo kotha hote, somudre holo haara.
Hethay aarjo, hetha anarjo hethay draabir chin -
Sak-hun-dal paathan-mogol ek dehe holo lin.
Paschime aaji khuliyachhe dwaar, setha hote sabe aane upohar,
Dibe aar nibe milabe milibe jaabe na phire -
Ei bhaaroter mahamanober saagorotire.

Eso hey aajro, eso anarjo, hindu-musalman.
Eso eso aaj tumi ingraj, eso eso khristan.
Eso braamhon suchi kori mon dharo haat sabakar.
Eso hey patito, hok aponito, sab apomanbhar.
Maar obhisheke eso eso twara, mongalghat hoy ni je bhora
Sabar-paroshe-pobitro-kara tirthonire -
Ei bhaaroter mahamanober saagorotire.
