Kon sudur hote aamar monomaajhe
Baanir dhaara bohe -   aamar praane praane.
Aami kakhon shuni, kakhon shuni na je,
Kakhon ki je kahe -   aamar kaane kaane.
Aamar ghume aamar kolahale
Aamar aankhi-jale taahari sur,
Taahari sur jiban-ghuhatale
Gopan gaane rahe -   aamar kaane kaane.
Kon ghano gahon bijano tire tire
Taahar bhaanga gara -   chhaayar tale tale.
Aami jaani na kon dokhinosomire
Taahar ottha para -   dheuyer chhalochhale.
Ei dharonire gagon-paarer chhnaade   se je   taarar saathe bnaadhe,
Sukher saathe dukh milaye knaade
'E nahe ei nahe -   nahe nahe, e nahe ei nahe' -
Knaade kaane kaane.
