Sei shaantibhaban bhuban kotha galo -
Sei robi shoshi taara, sei shokoshaanto sondhya-somiran.
Sei shobha, sei chhaaya, sei swapon.
Sei aapon hridaye aapon biram kotha gelo,
Grihohara hriday labe kaahar sharon.

Esechhi phiriye, jenechhi tomare,
Enechhi hriday tabo paaye -
Sheetal snehosudha karo daan,
Daao prem, daao shaanti, daao nutan jiban.
