এসো, এসো, এসো হে বৈশাখ।
তাপসনিশ্বাসবায়ে মুমূর্ষুরে দাও উড়ায়ে,
বৎসরের আবর্জনা দূর হয়ে যাক॥
যাক পুরাতন স্মৃতি, যাক ভুলে-যাওয়া গীতি,
অশ্রুবাষ্প সুদূরে মিলাক॥
মুছে যাক গ্লানি, ঘুচে যাক জরা,
অগ্নিস্নানে শুচি হোক ধরা।
রসের আবেশরাশি শুষ্ক করি দাও আসি,
আনো আনো আনো তব প্রলয়ের শাঁখ।
মায়ার কুজ্ঝটিজাল যাক দূরে যাক॥
(Chorus)
Come on, come on, come on, O Boishakh
Use the force of your breath
To get rid of the rubbish of the old year.
Let go of old memories and forgotten songs
Let all tears be swept far away.
Get rid of infirmities and weariness
Let the earth be sanctified in a blaze,
Dried up by your hot breath,
Take out and sound your conch-shell
And let the foggy mists be driven far away.
