Amar shonar Bangla, Ami tomai bhalobashi

আমার সোনার বাংলা, আমি তোমায় ভালবাসি।

চিরদিন তোমার আকাশ, তোমার বাতাস আমার প্রাণে বাজায় বাঁশি।

ও মা, ফাগুনে তোর আমের বনে ঘ্রাণে পাগল করে মরি হায়, হায় রে ও মা, অঘ্রানে তোর ভরা খেতে, আমি কী দেখেছি মধুর হাসি।।

কী শোভা, কী ছায়া গো, কী স্নেহ, কী মায়া গো, কী আঁচল বিছায়েছ বটের মূলে, নদীর কূলে কূলে।

মা, তোর মুখের বাণী আমার কানে লাগে সুধার মতো-

মা তোর বদন খানি মলিন হলে আমি নয়ন ও মা আমি নয়ন জলে ভাসি সোনার বাংলা, আমি তোমায় ভালবাসি।

My Bengal of Gold, I love you.

Forever your skies, Your air set my heart in tune As if it were a flute. In spring, O mother mine, The fragrance from your mango groves Makes me wild with joy, Ah, what a thrill! In autumn, O mother mine, In the full blossomed paddy fields I have seen spread all over sweet smiles.

Ah, what beauty, what shades, What an affection, and what tenderness! What a quilt have you spread At the feet of banyan trees And along the banks of rivers! Oh mother mine, words from your lips Are like nectar to my ears. Ah, what a thrill! If sadness, O mother mine, Casts a gloom on your face, My eyes are filled with tears! Golden Bengal, I love you.
