Lyrics: Pollikobi Jasimuddin

o ki o bondhu kajol vromorare

kon din ashiben bondhu koya jao koya jao re||

jodi bondhu jabar chao

gharer gamcha thuiya jao re

bondhu kajol vromorare

kon din ashiben bondhu koya jao koya jao re

botbrikkher shaya jemon re

mor bondhur maya temon re.

bondhure, bondhure, bondhure.

bondhu kajol vromorare

kon din ashiben bondhu koya jao koya jao re
