Transliteration in English

Likhono tomar dhulay hoyechhe dhuli,
Haariye giyechhe tomar aakharguli.
Choitrorajoni aaj bose aachhi eka, puno bujhi dilo dekha -
Bone bone tabo lekhonililar rekha,
Nabokishalaye go kon bhule elo bhuli tomar purano aakharguli.
Mallika aaji kaanone kaanone kato
Sourabhe-bhara tomari naamer mato.
Komal tomar onguli-chnoya baani   mone dilo aaji aani
Biraher kon byathabhara lipikhani.
Maadhobishaakhay utthitechhe duli duli tomar purano aakharguli.
