Shyam, mukhe tabo madhura adharme   haasa bikashita kaay
Kon swapana aba dekhata madhaba,   kahabe kauna haamay!
Nid-megha-para swapanabijalisama    raadha bilasita haasi.
Shyam, shyam mama, kaise shodhaba   tnuhuka premarinaraashi.
Bihanga, kah tu bolana laagali?   Shyam ghumay hamara,
Raha raha chandrama, dhala dhala taba   sheetala jochhanadhaara.
Taarakamaalini sundara jaamini   abahnu najaao re bhaagi -
Bhaanu kahata aba – rabi ati nishtthura   nalina-milana abhilashe
Kata naranaarika milana tutaawata   daarata biraha-hutashe.
