Mayabini ratir bukut
Dekha palu tumar sobi
Dhora dila gopone ahi
Hiyar konot
Tumi je mor xukan monot
Niyorore sesa topal
Nami oha rodore noi
Mor dehot proti puwa...
Dhumuhar xote mor
Bahu jugore nason
Endharu xosa mor
Bahu dinore apon
Nijanor gaan mor
Xekh hobo bhabo tumar bukut

Proti xorotor probhati fule
Kobo tumakei mor kotha
Proti meghali nixa jone
Kobo tumakei mor betha
Dhumuhar xote mor
Bahu jugore nason
Endharu xosa mor
Bahu dinore apon
Nijanor gaan mor
Xekh hobo bhabo tumar bukut

Dusokute tumar saa're
Xopun aatori dithok name
Subo khujilei mor duhate
Dithok aatori xopun ahe
Dhumuhar xote mor
Bahu jugore nason
Endharu xosa mor
Bahu dinore apon
Nijanor gaan mor
Xekh hobo bhabo tumar bukut

Mayabini ratir bukut
Dekha palu tumar sobi
Dhora dila gopone ahi
Hiyar konot
Tumi je mor xukan monot
Niyorore sesa topal
Nami oha rodore noi
Mor dehot proti puwa...

Zubeen Garg initially wrote the lyrics for "Mayabini" very late one night on a piece of foil paper because no proper paper was available. It landed in the pocket of film's assistant director, Manas Barua, son of Film Director Munin Barua. Eventually it ended up in the laundry, destroying completely. Zubeen Garg had to rewrite the entire song from memory based on the word Mayabini. The version we know today is the second, rewritten composition.


A tribute to Zubeen Garg's Maaybini song in chorus format by his fans. The song became the anthem of mourning across Assam, played continuously on loops, and sung by thousands of tearful fans who lined the streets, transforming his funeral procession into a powerful, collective tribute. It was one of the first times a modern, non-religious song became the official hymn of farewell for a regional icon.
