Jale-doba chikan shyamal    kochi dhaaner paashe paashe
Bhara nodir dhaare dhaare    hnaasguli aaj saare saare
Dule dule oi-je bhaase.
Omni korei boner shire    mridu haaway dhire dhire
Dikrekhaatir tire tire    megh bhese jaay nil aakashe.
Omni korei alos mone    ekla aamar torir kone
Moner katha saara sokal jaay bhese akarone.
Omni korei keno jaani dur maadhurir aabhas aani
Bhaase kaahar chhaayakhaani   aamar buker dirghoshwaase.
