Shyam re nipat kothin mon tor !
Biraha sathi kori dukkhinee radha rajanee karata he bhor  
Ekali nirala birala par boithata, nirakhata jamuna pane  
Barakhata ashru, bachana nohi nikasata,parana theha na mane  
Gahanatimira nishi, jhillimukhara dishi sunya kadamatarumoole
Bhoomishyana par akulakuntalrodoiapan bhule  
Bughdha mrigeesama chamaki uthoi kabhu parihari sab grihakaje,
Chahi shunya par kahe karunaswar   baje basari baje  
Nithura shyam re, koison abo tuhu raha e door mathuraay  
Rayana nidarun koison japasi, koisa diabasa taba jaay !
Koiso mitaosi premapipasa, kaha bajaosi bashi !
 Pitabas tuhu kathi re chorali, kathi so bankim hasi !
Kanakahar abo pahirali kanthekathi phekali banamala !
Hridikamalasanashunyakorli re kanakasana kara ala !
E dukh chiradin raholo chittame, bhanu kahe   chhi chhi kala !
Jhatiti aao tuhu hamari sathe, birahabyakula bala.
