Sokhi, aar kato din   sukhohin shaantihin
Ha ha kore beraibo nirashray mon loye.
Paari ne, paari ne aar -   paashan moner bhaar
Bohiya porechhi, sokhi, oti shraanto klaanto hoye.
Sammukhe jiban mamo   heri morubhumisamo,
Nirasha bukete bosi phelitechhe bishoshwas.
Uthite sakoti naai   je dike phiriya chaai
Shunyo-shunyo-mahashunyo nayonete parokaash.
Ke aachhe, ke aachhe sokhi,   e shraanto mastak mamo
Bukete raakhibe dhaaki jatone jananisamo.
Mon, jato din jaay,  mudiya aasichhe haay -
Shukaye shukaye sheshe maatite poribe jhori.
