গভীর রাতে জাগি’ খুঁজি তোমারে

gabhir rate jagi’ khuji tomare।

  dur gagne priy timir–‘pare।।

jege jabe dekhi badhu tumi nai kache
anginay phute’ phul jh’re pare ache,
ban–bedha pakhi sam ahat e pran mam –
lutaye lutaye kade ondhkare।।

mouna nijhum dhara, ghumayeche sabe,
eso priy, ei bela bakshe nirbe।

kat katha kata h’ye buke ache bidhe
kat abhiman kat jbala ei hride,
dekhe jao eso priy1 kat sadh jh’re gel –
kat asha m’re gel hahakare।।
