Amra purba banga chhere jokhon ghor chhara holam, ekta astanar khub proyojon chhilo. Amar Thakurdadar dharona chhilo je e shob bhinnyo desh ekta temporary byapar. Uni onar boshotbati te phire jaben bolei shob bikri koren ni. Shei ghor shob gelo. Amra swadhin Bharat e theke gelam, tobe amader shei moner taan oi nijeder barir uporei roilo.
