hoilo modhu maash e biya, baashor shaajai modhu kolosh diya.

Dhonopoti'r koinna je shundor! Chaand er nondon jamai Lokkhindhor!
chokher jol'e bhaashay baap'e maay'e..poti'r shathe Chaand er puri jaay

modhu maash e biya, baashor shajai modhu kolosh diya.

modhu maash e biya,jaage paara ulluddhoni diya!

ranga cheli..shonar olonkaare,chokher jol'e shaajailo koinnare
shohag shaaje chhili ghor'er kon'e
porer ghore pathaimu kemon'e


modhu maash e biya, baashor shaajai modhu kolosh diya.

Chaand er puri chhaaira jaailo shonge Lokhinndhor
sontali porbot e koinna'r lohar bashorghor
