Kon puratan praaner taane
Chhutechhe mon maatir paane.
Chokh dube jaay nobin ghaase, bhaabona bhaase pub-baatase -
Mallargaan plaabon jaagay moner modhye shrabon-gaane.
Laaglo je dol boner maajhe
Ange se mor dey dola je.
Je baani oi dhaaner khete    aakulo holo aankurete
Aaj ei megher shyamol maayay
Sei baani mor sure aane.
