AARJI

Ektu jabo tomaye chere dure koyek jojon

boloto aami kothye jabo? jethaye gele korte pabo,

sobuj mitar sathe mishe khanik bonbhojon,

sethaye jabo tomaye chere dure koyek jojon.

Hoyeto setha cholche boye ekti khudra sarit

seo sadai janan dichhe sabare niye cholar ichhe

chye je seo sabar monke korte ishat harit

Aakul hoye dakche sabare sei chhotya sarit.

sethaye giye pari ki hote ektukhani bhabuk

jani tumi noyeto mura, hobena tai nithur rura,

sobuj moner duare tai hanbe naa go chabuk

ektukhani debei sujog ektu hote bhabuk.
