Maatir prodipkhaani aachhe maatir gharer kole,
Sondhyataara taakay taari aalo dekhbe bole.
Sei aaloti nimeshohato   priyar byakul chaawar mato,
Sei aaloti maayer praaner bhayer mato dole.
Sei aaloti nebe jwale shyamolo dharar hridayotale,
Sei aaloti chapolo haaway byathay knaape pale pale.
Naamlo sondhyataarar baani    aakash hote aashiso aani,
Amoroshikha aakul holo martoshikhay utthte jwole.
