Koto Bhalobasa

Joraye Mayer Gola Shishu kohe ashi,
Maa tomare koto bhalobashi.
Koto bhalobaso dhon? Jononi sudhai.
”A-tohhh”, boli dui haath prosari dekhai.

Tumi Maa amare bhalobaso koto khani?
Maa bolen, maap taar ami nahi jani.
Tobu kotokhani bolo! jotokhani dhore,
tomar Mayer buke.’nohe taar pore?’
Taar basa bhalobasa parina basite, ami pari! bole Shishu hasite hasite.
