Dekechi Tomay

Hoyto akhono rongin tomar tuli,
Hoyto akhono jale dao alpona.
Thakleo dure ki kore tomay bhuli,
Tomake ghirei jotil kalpona.

Aj ki abar bristi aslo tere?
Naki chadi phata garomete jerbar?
Kokil ta ki dakche ghumer ghore?
Naki gache gache pakhider darbar?

Surjo ta ki marche akhono tuki,
Kathal gacher patar fak diye?
Mukul jhore am ki marlo uki,
Amod gandhe matal kore niye.

Akhono ki tumi ekkebare bhore,
Saji hate niye bagane te tolo phul?
Akhono bujhi sakh ta bajiye jore,
Dhuper gandhe hoye thako mosgul.

Tomar gandho, tomar drishho, tomar alo,
Amar to nay, hoyeche anekdin.
Tobuo kano phire pete lage bhalo,
Tomar kache amar anek rin.

Amar mukhe diyecho tumi bhasa,
Sikhiyecho more baste bhalo tumi,
Amar lekha tai sudhui tomar asha,
Tomay kache paoar samay guni.
