Fire ay Kolkata

ghono ghono bristi.boye berai ona-shristi.
cholte giye bhije jay pata.eri naam kolkata.
tobu ami boye jaai pran.tobu geye jai gaan.
tumi amari.shudhu amari kolkata.

rod bhora dupure.gham jhore kannar.
gacher shitol chhaya piprer dokhole.
tobu boshe dariye.bhabi shudhu bhabi,
keno chinley na.feno firley na kolkata.

misti foler daam.sorkari bodnaam.
chibuk choya pothghater obonoti.
bhanga cycle er chaka.dhore poth aaka baka.
ei jonjaal bhora shohore eshe mishi.

dhormotolar jam, roj sokaler lorai.
nota chhotar jibone hariye jawa panta (as in: panta bhat).
obhijog e joriye porechhe ichhe gilo
ar bench er anondo-patay torko.

hajar mile dure boshe.bhabte obak laage.
keno eishob chole ashe na ferot.
je chole gechhe, shei chhilo mati.
shei shohore pore theke, ami kandteo bhalobashi.
