A symbol of peace,
Progress and prosperity;
Heartiest welcome and wishes
To all classes of people and masses.

A symbol of all-people's festival
Goddess Durga was worshiped first
At Taherpur of Rajshahi,
In the 19th century by a local Zamindar.

Since then the tradition
Continues with a message
Bringing all closer
from near and far.

A symbol of pleasant and divine peace.
In the land of ours.

A land of beauty
And of natural catastrophy.
Yet, a beam of light
Flows over the million saving from atrophy.

The longest beach of the Bay of Bengal
And the greatest forest of the Sundarbans;
The roar of the Royal Bengal Tiger
and the songs of Bauls
All mingle together

In the land of poets --
Tagore, Nazrul, Sukanto
Jeebanananda, Jashim Uddin.
This land of festivals is
Always an attraction and thrill
to all travellers of the world
Within and without bustle and din.
