Bola hoyni je kotha

Anyo ekTa haat parom mamota’e dhore sei haat’Ta,
duTo haat aaNkRe dhore eke aporke!

Ek osheetipor briddha nirnimesh taakiye thaake
Ek osheetipor briddher mukhe’r dike!
Briddha’r bolirekhagrosto chokh’er kol beye
GoRiye poRe jol’er ajosro dhaara!
Bridhher chhanipoRa chokh bhore oThe jol’e,
ChoshMa’r moTa kNaach’e jome baashpo!

Balyobondhu, balyosokha –
Hayto ba balyoprem!

Konodin “bhalobaasi” bola hoye oTheni!
Jeebon egiye gechhe nijer goti’te,
Bhagyer haat dhore!
Je ghor bNaadha’r swapno dujonei dekhechhilo,
ta roye gechhe swapne’I!

Ekjon bNedhechhilo anyo ghor,
Anyo saathi’r saathe –
Se’o aaj anek-kaal hoye gelo!
Anyojon na khNuje peyechhe dosor,
Na khNuje peyechhe baasa!

Haspaataler bichhana’e shuye thhaka briddha’r
Haat dhore, paash’er Tul’e
Thaay bose thhake briddho –
Eke oporer dike cheye jhapsa chokh’e!
Kono shabdo chhaRa’I bola hoy,
“bhalobastam”, “bhalobaasi”,
prokaash hoy abhimaan,
chaoaa hoy kkhoma –
hoy prayoshchitto!
