Kotha     baaire dure jaay je urye haay re haay,
Tomar    chapalo aankhi boner paakhi bone paalay.
Ogo,   hridaye jabe mohano rabe, baajbe bnaashi
Takhon    aaponi sedhe phirbe knede, porbe phaasi -
Tokhon    ghuchbe twara, ghuriye maraa hetha hothay.
Aaha,    aaji je aankhi boner paakhi bone paalay
Cheye    dekhis na re hridayodwaare ke aase jaay,
Tora     shunis kaane baarota aane dokhin baay.
Aaji    phuler baase sukher haase aakul gaane
Chiro    basonto je tomari khnoje esechhe praane -
Taare     baahire khnuji phirichho bujhi paagolpraay -
Tomar    chapol aankhi boner paakhi bone paalay.
