Transliteration   Translation

Bohu jug dhore bechechish tora
Ebar mrittu shadhona kor,
Je hate keboli kor monajat
She hate ebar ostro dhor.

Gogon hoite helal chiria
Shajare toder lal nishan,
Buroder aiyu okhkhoy hok
Nesar kore de toder pran.

 

  
You lived for so long,
Now once put your life on the line;
The same hands you use for only prayers,
With weapons let once those shine.

Tearing off the crescent from sky,
Decorate your flag that is crimson red;
Let the seniles live longer
You offer your precious life, go ahead.
