Pothe oneker songe dekha hoi.
Ochena Mukh kintu chena manush.
“Hati hati pa pa” notun hatte sikheche,
doure pash katie chole jai onekei,
Keu abar hochot kheyeche.
samanno rokto, hese uthe darai,
dhulo jhare, bole “o kichu na”.
Keu ekbar pore gele r uthte parena,
jodi kono hath egie ase
Tobe jano ektu jor pai.
Purano kotha mone pore.
amio ekdin hatte sikhe dourechi, hochot kheyechi;
Tobu ajo khad dekhe poth hati?
Rasta par hoar somoy dupash dekhi?
Jara hochot khaini douracche,
tader mukher aloi nijer mukh khuje pai.
Bhalo lage, “bissas morena”!
Jara payer rokto hasi diye moche,
tader mukhe hasi shanti dai
“ami eka hasini sedin”!
Jara utthte parena,
vabi hath ta barai.
Kintu kano?
Jibon je okei bachte hobe;
Kaner kache giye bole asi
“Uthe por,
je toke dhakka dilo se kintu douracche”!
Jara amar e moto,
Onekta poth amar songe heteche,
Tader chok gulo dekhar chesta kori.
ora ki amar e moto ache?
Sonkito sapner khoje sabdhani podokkhep?
Naki ferari bissas tobu eka “Kandari Husiar!”
orao ki amai bujhte chai?
Ami tai kalo choshmai poth hati;
ojuhath surjer, mone bhoi,
jodi dhora pore jai?
“Ami bodle gechi!”
