Amar Chhotobela

Bhanga khelna, bhanga kanna
Ma'ar bokuni r majhe ranna
Chhera khata; pithe kil
Abar petam notun pencil
Pore mone din gulo ekhono
Porey achhe mon ta sekhane jeno

Ghum bhanga chokhe jeno thanda shitole
Dat maja, chan kora ek gola jole
Bhat kheye, jol niye holud botol e
Dourote hoto roj bag pithe kore

Sada jama; neel pant
Ei chhilo uniform
School seshe brishtir jole
Kada makha, bhije juto footbaal khele

Fer boka scale chhoya lal dag dekhe
Bhije chokhe bhat ghum chepe
Onuraage gril dhore baranday boshe
Kete jeto bikel ta mon koshe koshe

Ghor kuno, roga lik-likey ek chhele
Sondhe bela mota mota boi gulo khule
Jeto kotha hariye sob bhule giye
Fer maar, eibar thash kore gale

Hobe na lekha-pora tomar ei chheler
Mar kachhe baba jeno obhijog dile
Aankhi pata mude ashe notar pore
Din jeno sesh hoto shukkurer tore

Pore mone din gulo ekhono
Porey achhe mon ta sekhane jeno
