Chôl Chôl Chôl	March, March, March By a drum beat to a heavenly height From earth beneath and soil's blight Youth rise in the dawn's light, Left, now, now, right! March, March, March Through dawn's door, a shattering blow We will bring daybreak, scarlet in glow; We will destroy the gloom of the night And hindering mountain height, The youngest of young, a song will sing; From buried bones we raise the living; We are the ones, new life will bring With a new arm of might. Soldier, take your stand, A heartening ear now bend; Doors that lead to death's portal, A call to life extend! Break all doors tight and march, left and right! March, March, March

Here are the rest of the original lyrics from which the National march of Bangladesh came (continuing from the last section):^[7]

When did that ancient kingdom vanish away? We want that ancient age today. The troubadours song, we will sing and play. weep with all your might! Shed now, the pompous throne Awaken, O you heedless drone! See how the Persian rule sank down, and Russia and Greece and Rome. They all awoke to fight; You feeble, now ignite! From the dust, we will build anew the Taj Mahal! Unite! Left. right, Left, right! March, March, March
