Ekti Katha Ekti Sur Eki Jhankar

Ekti katha ekti sur eki jhankar
Nam dhare ke dakchhe jena amai barebar
Kothai achhi kothai jabo nai jena thikena
Ghumer ghare karchhi shudhu ami becha kena
Kata bhangi katai gari katai kari asha
Hiya khani dhekechhe mor andhar sarbanasha
Alor pakhi alor pakhi abar eso phire
Jyotir dhara bahan kare namo amar shire
Dak ditechho urdhe jete jabo keman kare
Bandhi je mor paran khani ekti andhar ghare
Alor pakhi alor pakhi alor pakhi alo
Prane amar rekhona ar ektu andhar kalo
