Mon je bale, chini chini je gandho boy ei somire.
Ke ore koy bidesini choitroraater chaamelire.
Rakte rekhe gechhe bhaasha,
Swapne chhilo jaawa-aasa -
Kon juger kon haawar pathe, kon bone, kon sindhutire.
Ei sudure parobaase
Or baasi aaj praane aase.
Mor puratan diner paakhi
Daak sune taar utthlo daaki,
Chittotale jaagiye tole aashrujaler bhoirabire.
