Poems
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Dead Poets Society
অপেক্ষা
অপেক্ষা, অন্তহীন অপেক্ষা...
সঠিক সময়ের জন্য অপেক্ষা।
অপেক্ষা করছি, অপেক্ষা কোরো...
Kaaga Re
Translated from Naadan Parindey, Rockstar
As the black birds feast on my mortal frame,
I implore them, with my dying breath,
To spare my eyes from their cruel game.
For I long to behold my love's face,
And see her beauty once again.
Though my flesh may be consumed and torn,
Let my eyes remain unmarred and pure,
For in them, my love's image is born.
And in death, her memory will endure.
So let the crows consume all else,
But please, dear birds, do not take my sight.
For in it lies the hope of my love's return,
And the will to live on through the night.
If I ever die
If I ever die,
With a flower in my hand.
A cascade of gifts,
On a foreign land.
Cool breeze in my hair,
As I ride past the road,
In my lavender little Ford.
I wish I could have your glimpse,
On my last day of life.
I wish I could have,
Made you my wife.
Shauq
Translated from Shauq, Qala
I have a desire to shatter,
My love, just say will you gather me back?
I have a fondness to break apart
Unbosom how you will gather me back
I am drowning in you today
The truth is buried in silence
The night breeze has gasped
Beholding your beauty
Like I gasp holding your hand.
In your eyes, the night river flows,
My steps bow down singing praises to you,
This story is attained a hundred percent.
Oh...the steps have risen
Now the eyes look down
Like a deep conversation is taking place
Oh...we both are immersed
Lost and engulfed in each other
Like the evening mist that marries into the winter sky
The water has also become yours,
Like a transparent mirror,
Counting you amidst the stars.
I have a desire to break apart,
Just say how you will gather me back
I have a fondness to shatter,
My love, just say will you gather me back?
The Romance of Eternal Hope
Translated from ANTAHEEN
His home was burnt in unanticipated fires
His mind was washed away by the ravaging floods
But still, he gets stirred by visages
Still, he crafts Goddesses from the Earth
My First Haiku
Chaste heart waiting
For my love to come to me
Eternity's worth
Resistance
Resistance, a call to arms
A fight for freedom, a cause to uphold
With every every step she takes, a change is made
A stand against oppression, a movement to pave.
Through the streets, she marches with pride
Voice raised in unison, a force to be denied
With a sign held high, and a heart full of fire
She resists the system that seek to expire.
She demands an end to the injustices of the past
And works towards a future build to last
Resistance is not just a fight
But a call to love, a call to what's right.
We stand together, united in the cause
Resistance, a movement without pause.
Through struggle and strife, she'll see it through
For a better tomorrow, for me, for you
