Paatrokhana jaay jodi jaak bhengechure 
Aachhe   anjali mor, prosad diye daao-na pure.
Sahoj sukher sudha taahaar mullo to naai,
Chhaarachhaari jaay se-je oi jekhaane chaai -
Baro-aapon kaachher jinis roilo dure.
Hridoy aamar sahoj sudhay daao naa pure.
Baare baare chaaibo naa aar mithya taane
Bhaangon-dhara aandhar-kara pichhon paane.
Baasa bnaadhar bnaadhonkhaana jaak naa tute,
Abaadh pather shunye aami cholbo chhute.
Shunyo-bhara tomar bnaashir sure sure
Hriday aamar sahoj sudhay daao naa pure.
