Naubo-aloke

Notun kore abar
Songhorshe jog dilam.
Notun jogge,notun houme,
Korbo atit swaha.

Naubo aloker ei naubo vor e
Ramdhonur rong diye
tomar anka chobite
vore debo ronger bahar.

Tomar sure sur miliye
Gaibo jiboner gan
notun sur r notun tal e
Sajbe notun asor abar......

Shishir!

Shiter vor e kal
Chokhe porlo hothat
Ek bindu shishir
ghaser sis e se nijeke diyechilo dhora.

Take dekhe holo mone,
Ashrukona,se kar chokher?
Atripto moner prokash?
sara rat jhore jawa borosoner
ghat-protighat!

Puber lal akashe,dhoreche sona rong
Hariye jabar somoy hoy elo tar.
Firey jabe se eibar.

Kono ek vore jodi abar
mone ase tomar
firey asbo ami, chokh vejate tomar!

bancte chai

Ami banchte cheyechilam
Tomar chokhe valobasa
Dekhte cheyechilam.

Jibone duhath bariye
Sudhui moron cheyechilam!

Tomar chokhe banchte cheyechilam.
Valolagar abeshe
Valobaste cheyechilam!

Sudhu tomar hoy
Thakte cheyechilam.....

@40!

Nearly forty and comfortably fat;
looking at the mirror,
I was satisfied!!!

Had nearly wrapped up the innings;
with a neat score.
just a few years more...
and I could settle down by the shore.

The boys would be set,
hoping for the best!
And then I could get some rest.
The years as it is,
had left behind scars
of long never ending gorges
and ravines,tearing a corpse apart!

Yet the rivers of life
never ceased to bathe her
keeping the fires burning
leaving her amazed forever!
