Lyrics
[Intro]
In the land of rivers flowing wide,
Where the green fields stretch with pride.
[Verse 1]
By the Ganges, Brahmaputra's might,
Bangladesh, a gem shining bright.
Dhaka dwells where history lingers,
Bangles clink as past recalls singers.
[Pre-Chorus]
From ancient Bengal to modern grace,
Resilience shines on every face.
[Chorus]
Oh, Bangladesh, land of unity,
Where rivers meet the sky in harmony.
Songs of freedom in every heart,
In fields of green, a world apart.
[Verse 2]
Once with Tagore's verses sung,
Bengali language on every tongue.
Cox's Bazar's endless sand,
Sundarbans where tigers stand.
[Chorus]
Oh, Bangladesh, land of unity,
Where rivers meet the sky in harmony.
Songs of freedom in every heart,
In fields of green, a world apart.
[Bridge]
Partition and liberation's fight,
In courage's embrace, a new light.
Fishermen dance to the waves' beat,
With hilsa and curry, a feast so sweet.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, Bangladesh, land of unity,
Where rivers meet the sky in harmony.
Songs of freedom in every heart,
In fields of green, a world apart.
[Outro]
From the Sundarbans to hills afar,
Bangladesh, you are my guiding star.
