Phaaguner shuru hotei shukno paata jharlo jato
Taara aaj knede shudhay, 'Sei daale phul phutlo ki go,
Ogo kao phutlo kato.'
Taara koy, 'Hattath haaway elo bhaasi
Modhurer sudur haasi haay.
Khyapa haaway aakul hoye jhore gelem shato shato.'
Taara koy, 'Aaj ki tobe esechhe se   nobin beshe.
Aaj ki tobe etokhone   jaaglo bone  je gaan chhilo mone mone.
Sei barota kaane niye
Ja ai   jaai chole ei baarer mato.'
