Chora

pukur jole sobuj pana,

kukur poshe biral chana,

tapur tupur brishti pora,

chonno chara chinno chora,

dupur-belar olosh ghum,

ratri nama nijhum jhum,

bhorer alo mon bholalo -

sharata din katbe bhalo -

traffic jam-e golok dhadha,

borsha-kale rasta kada,

bhirer majhe thamlo gari -

poddo bojhai bolihari.

Kolkata

basto-bagish amar shohor, purono sriti harano prem,

amar school, amar college, bikel-belar local train,

bus-er bhire badam-ola, pother more bhikhari,

olosh sheet-e roder choa, notun alor dishari,

nostalgic adda kichu, prothom tintin,

tomai niye shopno dekha - abchaya sei din,

chokher kone hashir jhilik, moner koner obhiman,

hariye jaoa kanna kichu, cha-er stall-e hindi gan-

jani sobai akash chire, amar kache asbe fire;

jibon mane chaoa-paoa dukhho - shukher kolotan.

Somoy

Ekti gach dariye ache jano sobuj chata -

Notun haowai uriye diye itihasher pata;

Sokal bikel obiroto

Somoy chole somoy moto,

Diner sheshe purno hobe karur jibon-khata.



Ekti chele korto khela hajar bochor age -

Office niye firche bari gobhir onurage;

Bhobishhoter sritigulo -

Neiko tader chal-chulo,

Badhon-bihin okarone ajke mone lage.
