Keno jaage na, jaage na abosh poraan -
Nishidin achetan dhulishayaan?
Jaagiche taara nishith-aakashe,
Jaagiche shato animesh nayaan.
Bihago gaahe bone phute phuloraashi,
Chandroma haase sudhamoy haasi -
Tabo maadhuri keno jaage na praane?
Keno heri na tabo premobayaan?
Paai janonir ajaachito sneho,
Bhaai bhogini mili modhumoy geho
Kato bhaabe sada tumi aachho hey kaachhe,
Keno kori toma hote dure proyaan?
