Buker bhitor onnyo karur gaan,
Cholchey shurey paal tuley ujaan.
Roopshayorer shyamla nodir tirey
cchutir raater neel jochonar bhirey,
hariye jawa rokto joba rode
lukiye pitch er rastaa gulo rnodey,
amaar paaye rokto jobar bheer
chhutchey gaari korno tuner tir.
Jaachey bheshey jonakir ek shaari
Hoyeto ekta chotto dokan baari
Aalor malaye shajiye debey boley
shonaar horin shongshaar gorey toley.
Taito taara laal alotey stobdho,
shaada kaalo haater kaachey jobdo.
Ghurni jhorer monoroma taaley
shaada kaaloo rasta ta posh maaney.
Haater cchowaye gayok jorey thont
baastob boley ebar jege oth.
Khuchro kotha, ticketolar bag-ey
Rokto joba paan er pick er daagey
Raamdhanu hoye manushgulor shor
shophed aaloye dicchey shilmohor.
Roopkathar alaoye holo phanki
shohor er aaj golpo howa baaki.
Gaaner shurey shopno hoye cchilish,
Aaj nishithey poroma hoye milish?
