Paakhi aamar nirer paakhi adhir holo keno jaani -
Aakash-kone jaay shona ki bhorer aalor kaanakaani.
Daak uthechhe meghe  meghe    alos pakha utthlo jege -
Laaglo taare udasi oi nil gagoner paroshkhaani.
Aamar nirer paakhi aabar udhaao holo aakash-maaje
Jaay ni karo sandhane se, jaay ni je se kono kaaje.
Gaaner bhara uthlo bhore,    chaay dite taai ujar kore -
Nirab gaaner sagor-maaje aapon praaner sakol baani.
