The Lyrics:
Mohabahu brahmaputra
mohamilinor tirtho
koto jug dhori aahise prokaxi
homonoyor ortho
xudur kandh kunjor pora
barobhuya aahisile
xai bonxote “shankardeo”
eeyate jonomile
morur dekhore “aajan phokire”
modhur “zikir’ rosile
“dillir dilware’ aahi
“hosto puthi” aakile
“poncho nodi”r “teg bahadure”
dhoromor xetu gorhile
xomonyor dekhuwale koto
prokakh sotosphuto
veer” lachit”e sorai ghatote
xpotoru aagosile
jati dharma bhaxa sobake
swadesh premere bandhile
kirat putro “Bishnu Rabha”e
matir dristi diyale
xomonoyor dekhuwale koto
prokakh sotosphuto
mohabahu brahmaputro…
