Ogo snaaotaali chhele, Shyamolo saghano nabobarosar kishor dut ki ele. Dhaanero khetero paare shaalero chhaayaro dhaare Bnaashir surete sudur durete cholechho hridayo mele. Pubdiganto dilo tabo dehe nilimolekha, Pito dharatite orunorekha, Keyaphulkhaani kabe tule aani Dwaare mor rekhe gele. Aamaro gaanero hangsobalakapnaati Baadolo dinero tomaro monero saathi. Jhare chanchalo tamaloboner praane Tomate aamate miliachhi ekkhani, Meghero chhaayay choliyachhi chhaaya phele.
