Sharote aaj kon otithi elo praaner dwaare.
Aanondogaan gaa re hriday,    aanondogaan gaa re.
Nil aakesher nirob kotha    shishir-bheja byakulata
Beje uthuk aaji tomar binar taare taare.
Shashyakheter sonar gaane    jog de re aaj saman taane,
Bhaasiye de sur bhara nodir amol jalodhaare.
Je esechhe taahar mukhe    dekh re cheye gobhir sukhe,
Duwar khule taahar saathe baahir hoye ja re.
