Lyrics

Roman script	Bengali script	Translation
Bandhu ámár Bandhu ámár Sonár áloy d́háká Bhorera pákhii Ut́hlo d́ákii Práńer parág mákhá Kisera tare Kisera d́áke Dine ráte khuṋji táke Notun áloy jhalkáni dey Doláy notun pákhá	বন্ধু আমার বন্ধু আমার সোনার আলোয় ঢাকা ভোরের পাখী উঠলো ডাকি প্রাণের পরাগ মাখা কিসের তরে কিসের ডাকে দিনে রাতে খুঁজি তাকে নোতুন আলোয় ঝলকানি দেয় দোলায় নোতুন পাখা	My longtime ally, My longtime ally Is encased in golden light. The bird of morning Rose up singing, Coated with pollen of life. For whose sake, For whose fame, I seek Him night and day? A new light radiates, And new wings take to flight.
