Jaani go, din jaabe e din jaabe.
Ekoda kon belasheshe molin robi korun hese
Shesh bidayer chaawa aamar mukher paane chaabe.
Pather dhaare baajbe benu,    nodir kule chorbe dhenu,
Aanginate khelbe shishu, paakhira gaan gaabe -
Tobuo din jaabe e din jaabe.
Tomar kaachhe aamar e minoti
Jaabar aage jaani jeno    aamay dekechhile keno
Aakash-paane nayon tule shymol bosumoti.
Keno nishar nirabota    shuniechhilo taarar katha,
Parane dheu tulechhilo keno diner jyoti -
Tomar kaachhe aamar ei minoti.
Saango jabe habe dharar paala
Jeno aamar gaaner sheshe    thaamte paari shome ese -
Chhayti ritur phule phale bhorte paari daala
Ei jibaner aalokete    paari tomay dekhe jete,
Poriye jete paari tomay aamar galar maala -
Saango jabe habe dharer paala.
