Mon re ore mon,  tumi   kon saadhonar dhan !
Paai ne tomay paai ne,  shudhu khnuji sarakhan.
Raater taara chokh na boje –   andhokare tomay khnoje,
Dike dike beray deke dokhino-somiran.
Saagor jemon jaagay dhwoni,   khnoje nijer ratanmoni,
Temni kare aakash chheye  orun aalo jaay je cheye –
Naam dhore tor baajay bnaashi kon ajana jan.
