Jete jodi hoy habe -
Jaabo jaabo, jaabo tabe.
Legechhilo kato bhaalo   ei je aandhar aalo -
Khela kare sada kaalo udaar nabhe.
Gelo din dhara-maajhe    kato bhaabe, kato kaaje,
Sukhe dukhe kobhu laaje, kobhu garobe.
Praanpane kato din   sudhechhi kotthin rin,
Kakhono ba udasin bhulechhi sabe.
Kobhu kore genu khela, srote bhaasainu bhela,
Aanmone kato bela kaatanu bhobe.
Jibon hoy ni phnaki,   phale phule chhilo dhaaki, 
Jodi kichhu rahe baaki ke taaha lobe !
Dewa newa jaabe chuke, bojha-khose-jaawa buke
Jaabo chole haasimukhe -   jaabo nirabe.
