Jodi Dhora Pore Jai?

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,

Jara amar e moto,
Onekta poth amar songe heteche,
Tader chok gulo dekhar chesta kori.

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!”

E buke vangoner jhor aj themeche;

Nocturne

Sometimes it happens!
A night emerges from the urn of desolate memories;
mummering moon, quivering stars and
distant rhymes of living fables;
come down to me, by my bedside;
where the clock tickles without any grievances;
keeping up with time;
The time – measuring the existence,
even of those ceased to exist.
Impalpable wings pass by my window-sky;
a sky full of stars yet so lonely.
Perhaps like a mirage, an identikit;
drawn by the echoes of solitary nocturne,
emanated from the distant stars,
like an ode to my soul --
for the eyes I once kissed;
in the dreams of monological happiness.

Pujar Chithi

Sapno ujan megher kole santo sokal bela;
porche mone harano sure amar chelebela.
“Megher kole rod heseche badol geche tuti”;
porche mone dol bedhe sei pujar chuti-chuti.
Notun jamar alto subas thakur dekhar moja;
virer moddhe okaronei notun kichu khoja.
Bose anko, sarodia, mahalayar gan,
harie paoa pujar gan e chinta-bihin pran.
Puja mane baro hoa, mayer hasir choa,
puja mane dhaker bole chando khuje paoa.
Puja mane boi er dhulo, somoy hiseb vola,
puja mane rat jege sei adda debar pala.
Fele asa sei pujar sriti ajo ek e ache;
prothom premer alto abesh buker kone bache.
Ajo ache harie jaoa pujar ganer resh,
basto jibon bolche akhon "se din chilo besh“
Jibon akhon basto vari sukher neshai chur;
vulini tobu pujor gandho, agomoneer sur.
jibon khuje ghar cherechi upre buker sikor
buker vitor tobuo bache harano diner nongor.
Ei probase akash ache, ache megher vela,
pother dhare hathat fota kash fuler mela.
Tobuo kothao ki jano nei bolche amar mon;
vabchi bose asbe kakhon pujar nimontron.
Aschi ami, tumio eso pathie dilam dak;
baki kotha sedin hobe aj etukui thak!
