Keno cheye aachho go ma mukho paane.
Era chaahe na tomare chaahe na je,   aapon maayere naahi jaane.
Era tomaay kichhu debe na debe na -    mithya kohe shudhu kato ki bhaane.
Tumi to ditechho ma ja aachhe tomaari -    swarnoshoshyo tabo jaahnobibaari,
Gyan dharmo kato punyokaahini.
Era ki debe tore. Kichhu na kichhu na. Mithya kobe shudhu hinoparaane.
Moner bedona raakho, ma, mone. Nayonobaari nibaro nayone.
Mukh lukao, ma, dhulishayone -    bhule thaako jato hino santane.
Shunyo-paane cheye prohoro goni goni   dekho kaate kina dirgho rajoni.
Dukhho jaanaye ki hobe, janoni,    nirmomo chetonahin paashane.
