Sonar pinjar bhangiye aamar    praaner paakhiti uriye jaak.
Se je hetha gaahe na!   Se je more aar chaahe na!
Sudur kaanon hoite se je   shunechhe kaahar daak –
Paakhiti uriye jaak.
Mudito nayon khuliye aamar  saadher swapon jaay re jaay.
Haasite oshrute gnaathia gnaathia   diyechhinu taar baahute bnaadhiya 
Aaponar mone knaadiya knaadiya   chniriya phelechhe haay re haay,
Saadher swapon jaay re jaay.
Je jaay se jaay phiriye na chaay,  je thaake se shudhu kare haay haay –
Nayoner jal nayone shukaay –  marame lukaay aasha.
Bnaadhite paare na aadore sohage    rajonee pohayay, ghum hote jaage,
Haasiya knaadiya bidaay se maage –   aakashe taahar baasa  .
Jaay jodi tabe jaak   ekbar tobu daak.
Ki jaani jodi re praan knaade taar tabe thaak tabe thaak.
