Prothom aalor charondhonni utthutlo beje jei
Nirbiraagi hriday aamar udhao holo sei.
Nil atoler kotha theke    udaas taare korlo je ke 
Gopanbaasi sei udaasir thik-thikana nei.
'Suptishayon aay chere aay' jaage je taar bhaasha,
Se bale 'Chal aachhe jethay saagorpaarer baasa'.
Desh-bidesher sakol dhaara    seikhane hoi bnaadhonhaara
Koner prodip milay shikha jotisomudrei.
