Mane khuji na

boyosh bere(chh)e.


boyosh bere(chh)e, kome(chh)e mathar chul.

baire dekhe(chh)i - kichu thik, kichu bhul.

dekhe(chh)i shohor, dekhini-to gram,

premer chithir hariye(chh)i kham,

shuke(chh)i gondho manush-er gham,

jotne lukono sriti.

purono diner jayga niye(chh)e

notun poristhiti.


kichu poth jay shoja-shuji na,

kichu kotha bujhi, jeta bujhi na

(chh)ere dite jani, mane khuji na -

jai hok, tai soi.

okaron ei lomba pothei

tobu ami cholboi.

(Chh)ota

ছুটেছিলাম  ধরব  বলে  রাজপুত্রের  রথ --

ঝাপসা  হলো  চোখের  পাতা,  ঝাপসা  হলো  পথ।

ছুটেছিলাম  ধরব  বলে  দশটা-পাঁচের  বাস --

স্কুল-কলেজ-অফিস  জুড়ে  ছোটার  ইতিহাস।



ফেলে  আসা  সময়গুলো  ছোটার  মানে  জানত;

অনেকটা  পথ  পেরিয়ে  এসে  এখন  তারা  ক্লান্ত।

বিকেলবেলার  মিষ্টি  রোদে  কাটবে  বাকি  দিনটা --

হারিয়ে  গেছে  অতীত,  আর  ভবিষ্যতের  চিন্তা।।

Bachte ichhe kore

amar lekha shobdo-gulor

ochena ek shurer opekhhay,

rasta-ghate shomoy kate -

ar manush hete jay.


bishad ache diner aloy,

kanna ache jhore,

ar agun ache - eshob niyei

bachte ichhe kore.


taito ajo shunil-shokti ch(h)onde,

ajo amar rabindranath, amar jibon-anonde

uthch(h)e neche ochena bish-shoy -

taito ajo bachte ichhe hoy.

Bidghute Chora

bhalo-basha-hin byartho shedin ketechilo tar jonno -

raat-jaga joto kobitar khoto ghumiye chilo bishonno.

shei din tar obadhhotar mullo chokay aj -

bortoman-er ganer bhetor korche otit raj.

shei gan tai bar bar gai - hoyna tobuo purono

jontrona phike, snigdho bikel belar shanti kurono.

rastar more shorgol kore moyla phelar gari -

jonjal niye royeche dariye, shomoy teneche dari.

Ekla

ekla kichu obhimaner shari -

tader niyei amar choto bari.

barir bhetor nijer kolponake

shongi kore khujechilam jake,

nirud-deshe paliye geche se je -

paliye geche hajar noro-nari.


ajke dekhi ekla alor rode

porche chaya amar jibon-bodhe -

shiri beye otha ebong pora,

chotto-belar rong-beronger chora,

sharthopor kanna ebong prem -

gorje othe probol protishodhe.

Nagorik

udashi bishad makha amar shohorer pothe ghate

ajo dhulo ore, horn baje, taxi bhara khate.

ar onek dure - prithibir onno prante,

akasher shunnota ghera gopone ojante

bhetorer kobita-gulo shukiye jai -

byartho shopne ranga obo-chetonai.

mone pore otiter boi-shakhi jhore

megher natokiyo songlap;

mone pore purir shomudrer pare

balir opor payer ch(h)ap.


nobin adhunikotai amar shohorer pothe ghate

ajo jiboner roll-call-e chele-meyera class kate.

ektu, ektu, ektu kore egiye chole dom deoa ghori -

dishahin, shadhin nagorik.

Itihash

jani na se kon juge kono ek jon

akash-er dike cheye dekhechilo tara -

keu mone rakhe ni - kono ek din

tulechilo buno phool, korechilo khela,

onabil anonde ghetechilo jol.

hajar bochor age kono ek chele,

paliye gechilo jani shob kichu phele -

kedechilo kono ek prem raat-bhor.

aro jani ekdin kono ek chor

churi kore niyechilo jiboner khide

kono ek peter taro-nai.

tarpore shomoy hete jai shidhe,

ar itihash thomke darai.
