Jante ki keu chaay amake, Atojonaar bhire?
Bujhte ki keu cheyechilo, Amar ei Pranti're |

Bhujhlo sobaai bhul amake, Dekhlo na mon keu
Taaito buke bethar jaalay, Uthle othe dheu |

Aaj esechi sobaar theke, Onek dure shore
Taai kaadi roz du-noyone, Sobaar ogochore |

Shob dukkho shoyeo aami, Baachte gechi sikhe
Ei holo mor jibon kotha, Paatay dilaam likhe
