Swaponpaarer daak shunechhi, jege taai to bhaabi -
Keu kakhono khnuje ki paay swapnoloker chaabi.
Noy to sethay jaabar tare,   noy kichhu to paabar tare,
Naai kichhu taar daabi -
Bishwo hote hwariye gechhe swapnoloker chaabi.
Chaawa paawar buker bhitar na-paawa phul phote,
Dishahaara gandhe taari aakash bhore otthe.
Khnuje jaare berai gaane,   praaner gobhir atal-paane
Je jan gechhe naabi,
Sei niyechhe churi kore swapnoloker chaabi.
