Transliteration in English

Ohe jibonoballabho, ohe sadhanodurlabho,
Aami marmer katha antarobyatha kichhui naahi kabo –
Sudhu jibon mon charone dinu bujhiya laho sab.
(Dinu charonotale – katha ja chhilo dinu charonotale –
Praaner bojha bujhe lawo, dinu charonotale.)
Aami ki aar kabo.
Ei songsaropathosankato oti kantakamayo hey,
Aami nirabe jaabo hridaye loye premomuroti tabo 
(Nirobe jaabo – pather knaata maanbo na, Nirobe jaabo.
Hridayobyathay knaadbo na, Nirobe jaabo.)
Aami ki aar kabo.
Sukh dukh sab tuchchho korinu priyo-apriyo hey  
Tumi nijo haate jaaha snopibe taha maathay tuliya labo 
(Aami maathay labo – jaaha dibe taai maathay labo –
Sukh dukh tabo padodhuli bole maathay labo.)
Aami ki aar kabo.
Aporadh jodi kore thaaki pode,  naai karo jodi khama,
Tabe paraanpriyo, diyo hey diyo bedona nabo nabo.
(Diyo bedona – Jodi bhaalo bojho diyo bedona –
Bichare jodi doshi hoi diyo bedona.)
Aami ki aar kabo.
Tabu phelo na dure, dibasosheshe deke niyo charone – 
Tumi chhaara aar ki aachhe aamar mritu aandhar bhabo. 
(Niyo charone – bhaber khela saara hole niyo charone –
Din phuraile dinonath, niyo charone.)
Aami ki aar kabo.
