Following is the poem:

Janmadine Pratibar Ektee Ful Diye

Shubhechcha Janano Chilo

Amar Sobcheye Anando.

Ar Kakhono Pabo Na Ei Sukh

Ar Kakhono Bolte Parbo Na

Shuvo Janmadin.

Keno Emon Holo?

Ke Debe Amar Prosner Uttar

Kothai Pabo Tomai . . .

Jodi Sandhya Tarader Majhe Thako

Akasher Dike Takiye Bolbo

Shuvo Janmadin.

Tumi Ki Miti Miti Jolbe?

Jadi Bishal Samudrer Samne

Dheuder Khelar Majhe Thako Bolbo

Shubho Janmadin.

Samudrer Garjone Shunbo Ki

Tomar Bajrokantho?

Paharer Churai Jekhane Megh

Neel Akashe Lukochuri Khele

Tumi Ki Okhane?

Takiye Bolbo

Shuvo Janmadin.

Ek Tukro Sada Megh Bheshe jabe

Okhane Ki Tumi?

Akashe Batashe Pahare Upatakyay

Tomake Khunjbo, Dakbo.

Je Protidhwani Hobe

Okhane Ki Tumi?

Shuvo Janmadin.
