Sokhi , bhaabona kaahare bole.
Sokhi , jaatona kaahare bole.
Tomra je balo dibaso-rajanee bhaalobasa bhaalobasa -
Sokhi , bhaalobasa kaare koy!
Se ki keboli jatonamoy.
Se ki keboli chokher jal? Se ki keboli dukher shwas?
Loke tabe kare ki sukheri tare emon dukher aash.
Aamar chokhe to sakoli shobhan,
Sakoli nabeen, sakoli bimal,
Suneel aakash, shyamol kanan,
Bishad jochona, kusum kamol- sakoli aamari mato.
Taara keboli haase, keboli gaay,
Haasiya kheliya morite chaay-
Na jaane bedan, na jaane rodan,   na jaane saadher jaatona jato.
Phul se haasite haasite jhare,   jochona haasiya milaye jaay,
Haasite haasite aaloksaagore    aakasher taara teyage kay.
Aamar maton sukhee ke aachhe.
Aay Sokhi , aay, aamar kaache -
Sukhee hridayer sukher gaan
Shuniya toder jurabe praan.
Protidin jodi knaadibi kebol ekdin noy haasibi tora -
Ekdin noy bishad bhuliya sakole miliya gaahibo mora.
