Assamese original[]

Assamese script[2] Latin script IPA transcription

অ’ মোৰ আপোনাৰ দেশ
অ’ মোৰ চিকুণী দেশ
এনেখন সুৱলা, এনেখন সুফলা
এনেখন মৰমৰ দেশ ।

অ’ মোৰ সুৰীয়া মাত
অসমৰ সুৱদি মাত
পৃথিৱীৰ ক’তো বিচাৰি জনমটো
নোপোৱা কৰিলেও পাত ।

অ’ মোৰ ওপজা ঠাই
অ’ মোৰ অসমী আই
চাই লওঁ তোমাৰ মুখনি এবাৰ
হেঁপাহ মোৰ পলোৱা নাই ।

Ö mur apunar desh
Ö mur siküni desh
Enekhon shüola, enekhon shüfola
Enekhon moromor desh

Ö mur shüria mat
Oshomor shüodi mat
Prithiwir kötu, bisari jonomtu
Nupua korileu pat

Ö mur upoja thai
Ö mur oshomi ai
Sai loũ ebar, mükhoni tumar
Hẽpah mur polua nai.

English version[]

O my endearing motherland
O my enchanting motherland
So euphonious
So bounteous
So near and dear a motherland

O my euphonic voice
The melodic voice of Asom
No-where in the world
You can ever find
Even if you scour through life.

O my land of birth
O my mother Asom
Let me have one
Look at your face
My heart hasn’t been sated.[2][3]
