Buke'r majhe shunnotaar ek aabhash aami shuni,
Khola chade boshe j taai, Rate'r taara guni |

Megh'er kanna bhejaay amay, Hotath ratri bela,
E jeno ek obhimaan'er, Dukkho-dokkho khela |

Ei obelaay songi aamar, Kanna du-chokh bhora,
Aamar shoke molin holo, Rate'r dhrubo taara |

Chand dhekeche mukhti tahaar, Dukkhe megh'er kone,
'Nishi-Raat' taai bondhu amar, Mon kharap'er dine |
