Transliteration in English

Santraser bihwabalata nijere apomaan.
Sankater kalpanate hoyo na mriyomaan.
Mukto karo bhay,  
Aapona-maajhe shakti dharo nijere karo jay.
Durbalere rokkha karo, durjanere haano,
Nejere deen nihsahay jeno kabhu na jaano.
Mukto karo bhay,  
Nijer pare karite bhar na rekho sangshay.
Dharmo jabe shankhorabe koribe aahwban
Neerab hoye namra hoye pan koriyo praan.
Mukto karo bhay,  
Duruha kaaje nijeri diyo kothin porichay.
