Pothik paran cha chal se pothe tui
Je path diye gelo re tor bikelbelar jnui.
Se path beye geche je tor sondhyamegher sona,
Praaner chhaayabithir tole gaaner aanagona -
Roilo na kichui.
Je pathe taar paapri diye bichiye gelo bhnui,
Pothik paraan chal chal se pothe tui.
Andhokare sondhyajuthir swaponmoyee chhaaya
Utthbe phute taarar mato kaayabihin maaya -
Chhnui taare na chhnui.
