Koto din?

Koto din ar koste jabe? Koto din ei ekla emon?
Firee ki pabo sei jibon, choto belai chilam jemon?
Keno manush emon kharaap? Keno manush bodle gelo?
Oraa o ki ekdin amar moto, osohai ar gorib chilo?

Kemon jibon amar bolo, kemon ami sukh e achi?
Canada te kiser maya? Kiser sopne ami bachi?
Bidesh e ami kemon achi? Keno ami prohor guni?
Iccha kore sokal belar Fazar er oi ajan suni.

Koto din ami desh dekhi na, kemon ami bodle gelam,
na hoi ami tomar moto, ekta bidesh jibon pelam.
Bolo, ami keno emon, alaada holam sobar theke?
Ke amake kosto dilo, moner ghore ekla rekhe?

Tomader ki mone hoi na, sukher chilo ager jibon?
Bolo, saanti takai asee? Taka te vashe sukh e ko jon?
Tumi ki jano na, ekdin chilo, onek sukher, onek modhur?
Aj keno sei sukh amar, morichika ai bedona bidhur?

Desh chilo ek karagar jeno, tao to valo, ekhon bujhi.
mukto ami ekhon keno, sukher neshai, jibon khuji?
Oi karagar, ager jibon, pabo ki ami abar firee?
kono din o na, moron amar, adhar amar asche ghire.
