දින දින විදුහල් මෑනී අපගේ
යස ගොස සිරිලක් දිව තුළ පතුරා
සිසු කැල යහ මඟ යවමින් ජාතික
බැම්මෙන් බඳවා සිංහල රටෙහී
සම්බුදු සසුනට හිත ඇති දරුවන්
විදුහල් මවුනී ඇති කර දේවා
දැහැමි සමාජය ගොඩ නංවන්නට
නෙක විදි සිප් කිරි පොවනා අපටත්
විදුහල් මාතාවෙනි ඔබෙ නාමේ
ලියවමු රන් අකුරෙන් ඉතිහාසේ
වළිසිහ හරිහඳ දෑ විරු නාමේ
ලක්වැසි කවුරුත් සමර කෙරේවා
දින දින විදුහල් මෑනී අපගේ
යස ගොස සිරිලක් දිව තුළ පතුරා
