Kotha aachho probhu, esechhe dinohin,
Aalay naahi mor asimo songsare !
Oti dure dure bhromichhi aami hey 'Probhu, probhu' bole daaki kaatore.
Saara ki dibe na. Dine ki chaabe na. Raakhibe pheliye akul aandhare?
Path je jaani ne, rajoni aasichhe, ekela aami je e bonomaajhare.
Jaagotojanoni, laho laho kole, biram maagichhe shranto shishu e.
Piyao amrito, trishito se oti -   jurao taahare sneho baroshiye.
Tyaji se tomare gechhilo choliye, knaadichhe aajike patho haaraiye -
Aar se jaabe na , rohibe saath-saath,  dhoriye tabo haat bhromibe nirbhoye.
Eso tabe, probhu, snehonayone e mukha-paane chaao -   ghuchibe jaatona,
Paaibo nabo bal, muchhibo oshrujal, charon dhoriye puribe kaamona.
