යෙහෙන් වැජඹෙනු අනඳ මාතා.
සිය දහස් වර මේ බිමේ!

ශතවස් එකුන් තිස්පස් වසරක් ගෙවුණ ආනන්දයකි රට දැයටම ඔබ කිරුළ දායාදයකි ලොවටම ඔබ නිති පුදන
දරු පරපුරක බෝසත්කම සිත් දරණ

ලකර සුපතල අනඳ සිප් හල
විසල් තුර විය බොදු බවේ.
පතර විහිදුණු නේක අතු රැස
සුපෝෂීත කල නැණ ගුණේ.

සෙවණේ අකුරු කල ඒ පුතු ජනපති අතින කලඑළි බසින සිප් හල අද මහඟුය විසුල කළගුණ ශිල්ප ගුණ ලත් උතුමෙකු ලෙසින මෙහෙයත් උදාරයි දිනු මව වෙත පුදන

දොරට වඩවන සත් මහල් බිම
දෙගුරු සිසු සැම සිත් දිනේ.
සොඳුරු මිනිසුන් ලොවට බිහිවන
සෙවණ වේවා හෙට දිනේ!

ජීවිතේ ගොඩක් දේ ඉගෙනගත් තැන.
ජීවිතේට ගොඩක් දේ ගත් තැන.
