Beche nite jodi ekbar boro bhalo hoto.

Ekbar sudhu ekbar konomate,
Chokh mele jodi ekbar dekhe nite,
Dekhe nite jodi ekbar boro bhalo hoto.

Sanchoy gulo gune bedhe nite,
Gethe nite sudhu kripon er borshite
Edo pukur er puti mach.

Gane gane bulbulita ke dosh dite
Firle na tumi konodin sombite
Nive galo unun er ach.

Beche nite jodi ekbar boro bhalo hoto.

Nite jodi tumi niswas pran bhor e
Beche nite jodi ekbar boro bhalo hoto.
