O my native land !
O my native land !
Far better than a garden
Is your dust and sand
What a dignified place you are !
Full of grace and beauty , as star
You are protected and saved , indeed
By the Mercy of God , near not far
O my native land !
O my native land !
Far better than a garden
Is your dust and sand
Ever-flowing rivers and valleys
Charming scene of butterflies and bees
So much soothing is your environment
Like a paradise , full of ease
O my native land !
O my native land !
Far better than a garden
Is your dust and sand
Phool , the poet is praying always
God bless you during nights and days
Long live up to the Doomsday
With the joyful refulgence and rays
O my native land !
O my native land !
Far better than a garden
Is your dust and sand
