Híjrot
Bangladecót híjrot gorílam
baindá gór feli
Salot sailé soiñyor borá
Khetít sailé morisor horá
Góror duare hander kutta
girós giya féli,
Bangladecót híjrot gorilam,
jati bái bóli!
Dehá gelé fukor thonki,
decór monot urér sonki.
Haire maa-baf hore gelí?
Añará Bangladecót híjrot gorí.
Hijrot gorílam Bormádec féli (II)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Migration
We migrated to Bangladesh leaving behind
our beautiful homes
On our rooftop had dried food
In our field we had fresh chilies
we migrated to Bangladesh leaving
everything behind thinking that
we are of same (Muslim) brotherhood
Now when we look back to the East,
We remember many things of the past
O, where are my beloved parents?
You sent us to Bangladesh
We had to leave our beloved country Burma
