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......

@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!
