Jhnaakra chuler meyer katha kaauke bolini,
Kon deshe je chole gechhe se chanchalini.
Songi chhilo kukur kalu,  besh chhilo taar aaluthaalu
Aapna-pare anaadare dhulay molini.

Hutopati jhagrajhnati chhilo niskaronei.
Dighir jale gaachher daale goti khane-khanei.
Paaglami taar kaanay kaanay    kheyal diye khela baanay,
Uchchohaase kalobhaashe kalokolini.

Dekha hole jakhon-takhon bina aporadhe
Mukhobhongi korto aamay apomaaner chhnaade.
Shaasan korte jemon chhuti    hatthat dekhi dhulay luti
Kaajal aankhi chokher jale chhalochholini.

Aamar sange panchash baar janmoshodher aari,
Kathay kathay nityokaaler moton chhaarachhaari.
Daakle taare 'Pnutli' bole     saara dito morji hole,
Jhagra-diner naam chhilo taar swarnonolini.
