    Through the jongole I am went
    On shooting Tiger I am bent


    Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
    No doubt I will avenge poor darling's life


    Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
    But I not fear these sons of beeches




    Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
    But noise is coming from damn fool's heart


    Taking care not to be fright
    I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight


    Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
    Then like hero return to native town


    Then through trees I am espying one cave
    I am telling self - "Bannerjee be brave"


    I am now proceeding with too much care
    From far I smell this Tiger's lair


    My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
    I think I will shoot Tiger some other day


    Turning round I am going to flee
    But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee


    He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
    I run shouting "Kali Ma tumi kothay gele"


    Through the jongole I am running
    With Tiger on my tail closer looming


    I am a telling that never in life
    I will take risk again for my damn fool wife!!!!!
