Raatri ese jethay meshe diner paarabare
Tomay aamay dekha holo sei mohonar dhaare.
Seikhanete saaday kaaloy   mile gechhe aandhar aaloy -
Seikhanete dheyu chhutechhe e paare oi paare.
Nitalonil nirob maajhe baajlo gobhir baani,
Nikoshete uthlo phute sonar rekhakhani.
Mukher paane taakate jaai,   dekhi dekhi dekhte na paai - 
Swapon-saathe joriye jaaga, knaadi aakul dhare.
