Transliteration in English

Tumi usharo sonaro bindu praaner sindhukule,
Sharot-praater prothom shishir prothom shiuliphule.
Aakashpaarer indrodhonu dharar paare nowa.
Nanadaneri nondini go chandrolekhay chnowa -
Protipode chnaader swapon shubro meghe chnowa -
Swargoloker gopon katha marte ele bhule.
Tumi kobir dheyan-chhobi purbojanom-smriti,
Tumi aamar kuriye paawa haariye jaawa giti.
Je kathati jaay na bala koile chupe chupe,
Tumi aamar mukti hoye ele bnaadhonrupe -
Amol aalor kamolobone daakle duwar khule.
