ye bām̐śhi bheṅe gechhe tāre ken gāite bal?
ken ār michhei tāre surer kheẏā bāite bal?
āj sonār khām̐chāẏ bandī pākhir kanṭhe ye sei sur,
āj yen sei baner chhāẏā se to anek dūr,
tāre hāriẏe yāoẏā phāgunere phire ken chāite bal ?
ekdā sure sure dit ye hṛdaẏ bhare
dekh tār gāner bīṇā dhūlāẏ par̤e|
āj sab hārānor nīrab byathāẏ kām̐de go yār prāṇ,
balo ogo keman kare gāibe se tār gān,
michhe phāgun belār hāsite tār surer bhuban chhāite bal|
