Radha Krishna Bol Bol
(By Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
‘rādhā-kṛṣṇa’ bol bol, bolo re sabāi
ei śikṣā diyā, sab nāḍiyā
phirche nece’ gaura-nitāi
miche māyār bose, yāccho bhese’,
khāccho ḥabudubu, bhāi
jīva kṛṣṇa-dāsa, e viśvāsa,
korle to’ ār duḥkha nāi
kṛṣṇa bolbe jabe, pulaka ha’be,
jharbe aṅkhi, boli tāi
‘rādhā-kṛṣṇa’ bolo, saṅge calo,
ei-mātra bhikṣā cāi
jāy sakal vipad, bhaktivinoda
bole, yakhon o-nāma gāi
