Oh Kolkata!

Shei sondhyar aabchaya ey
Tumi dariye eka janala ey
ami bishaadsindhu dekhchi nogor.

shei molin rajpoth ey
raat mrityo deho der khoje
mora mukhey alo fyale lamp post.

kaaadey barowari swomman
haathey adhulir ek pran
tobu cheledhyora ghorey ratey
rong chong mekhe;

raj-poth ey
saat ghaat ey.

Eka ratey sutey laagey voy
nijer hathey birjokhoy
tobu pashan mobile janaye byakulota

ajo bullet ey santi khuji
kalo dhanda ey ruti ruji
sesh ghwor dekhey morgue er kolkata.
sesh sukh hobe morgue ey kolkatar.
