ā́ te kā́ro śṛṇavāmā́ vacā́ṃsi yayā́tha dūrā́d anasā́ ráthena | ní te naṃsai pīpyānā́ iva yóṣā maryā́ya iva kanyā́ śaśvacái te ||

Translation

আমি তোমাৰ উত্তৰ-ধ্বনি আৰু বাক্যসমূহ শুনিব খোজোঁ; কিয়নো তুমি দূৰ দেশৰ পৰা গাড়ী আৰু ৰথেৰে আহিছা। জীৱনেৰে পূৰ্ণা নাৰী যেন প্ৰেমত হেলি পৰে, কন্যা যেন বৰলৈ—তেনেদৰে আমাৰ ফালে নত হওঁক; সদায় আমাৰ প্ৰতিই মুখী হৈ থাকাঁ।
