bulbul wanan chu poshan

bulbul wanan chu poshan
gulshan watan chu souni.

Mahjoora des sonuy
baagah chhu nundabonuy
ath lol gatghi baronuy
gulshan vatan chhu sonuy

The bulbul sings to the flowers:
‘A garden is our land!’

Mahjoor, our motherland
Is the loveliest on earth!
Shall we not love her best?
A garden is our land
