Tumi chhere chhile, bhule chhile bole hero go ki dasha hoyechhe -
Malin badon, malin hridoy, shoke praan dube royechhe.
Birohir beshe esechhi hethay jaanate birahobedona;
Darosan nebo tabe chole jabo, anek diner baasona.
Naatho naatho bole daakibo tomare, chaahibo hridoye raakhite -
Kaator praaner rodan sunile aar ki paaribe thaakite?
O amritorup dekhibo jakhon muchhibo nayonobaari hey
Aar uthibo na, poriya rohibo charonotale tomari hey.
