Lyrics
Bishtir no duparer
Oshonkho manusher
Hahakaar shuneyu
Nishobdi nirobe
O Gonga tumi
O Gonga boyicho kano
Noyiti kotar skholon dekheu
Maanobotaar poton dekheu
nirlojjo alosh bhabe boyicho kano
shohoshro bhoroshaar, unmadaanar
montro diye lokhkho jonere
shobol shongrami aar ogrogaami
gore tolona kano.
shrodoshini kano nahi bao
tumi nishchoi jahnobi naao
tahole prerona daona kano
unmotto dhoraar, kurukhetrer
shoro shojjake alingon kora
lokkho koti, bharotbashi ke
jaagale na kano.
