Jibon maane manush howa, uccho obhilashi |

Jibon maane dukher majhe, Sukher chowa paawa
Jibon maane Megh'er buke, Chader dheke jaawa |

Jibon maane shona amar, Gurujoner buli,
Jibon maane Sriti'r paatay, Bedonaar shur guli |

Jibon maane Kanna-Haashi'r, Nanan rong'er khela
Jibon maane Priyo joner, Bhalobashar bhela |
