Hnaa go maa, sei kothaai to bole gelen tini,
Tini aamar aapon jaater lok.
Aami chandali, se je mithya, se je mithya,
Se je daarun mithya.
Shraboner kaalo je megh
Taare jodi naam daao chandal,
Ta bole ki jaat ghuchibe taar,
Ashuchi habe taar jal.
Tini bole gelen aamay -
Nijere ninda koro na,
Maanober bangsho tomar,
Maanober rakto tomar naarite.
Chhi chhi maa, mithya ninda rotas ne nijer,
Se je paap.
Raajar bangshe daasi janmay asonkho,
Aami se daasi noi.
Dwijer bangshe chandal kato aachhe,
Aami noi chandali.
