অ' মোৰ আপোনাৰ দেশ
অ' মোৰ চিকুণী দেশ
এনেখন শুৱলা, এনেখন সুফলা
এনেখন মৰমৰ দেশ।

অ' মোৰ সুৰীয়া মাত
অসমৰ সুৱদী মাত
পৃথিৱীৰ ক'তো বিচাৰি জনমটো
নোপোৱা কৰিলেও পাত।

অ' মোৰ ওপজা ঠাই
অ' মোৰ অসমী আই
চাই লওঁ এবাৰ মুখনি তোমাৰ
হেঁপাহ মোৰ পলোৱা নাই।

O my endearing country
O my speckless country
So euphonious, so bounteous
So near and dear a country

O my euphonious voice
The melodic voice of Assam
Nowhere in the world, you can ever find
even if you scour through life.

O my land of birth
O my mother Assam
Let me have one (more) look at your face
My heart hasn't been sated.
