SANDS OF TIME

Sands of time
Pass through the fingers
From the winter solistice
To the summer solistice

Yet aspirations fly endlessly
Like the sands of the desert
Or the waves of the sea
Or the blue sky

Sands of time pass through
The curvacious hourglass
Endlessly biding time
That which can't be seen
Or touched
But only felt
Felt for achieving the nirvana
In life in this earth
Or in the world after.

Time loses out
To our wishes
That which lives endlessly
Searching each other forever
Till time binds us together.

Sonali buti chhoriye achhe
Kalo chadorer gaye
Jorie chador dassi chhele
Maake kachhe chai

Ghare ghare jwale othe deep
Ek ekti kore
Chand bune jai rupali maya
Jochhonar urnanabhe
Dassi chhele swapno dekhe ar
Ghumer ghore hashe
Matrwitte, garbe, snehe raatri
Mathai bolai haat
Jagle parei korbe shuru
Sei turki nachon nach.

TUKRO KOBITA

Gandho baje buker darjai.
Ghanta nere kanpon dharai.
Ele tumi amar kachhe.
Hajar surjo beje othe.
Haate haat rekhe jai chole oi
Alor anginai... ...

TUKRO LEKHA

1. Diner alo futthe futthei ekhane kato pakhir awaj.Darun lage. Kal raate khub eka lagchhilo. Jakhan dekhchhilam purnimar jyotsnai sara prithibi bheshe jachhe ar gachhgulor sange alochhayar khela. Aj jyotsna raate sabai gechhe bone....shudhu tumi nei amar kachhe eta share karar janyo.

2. Tumi anekhan ghumiye porechho. Payer byatha, fola ar sardi makhano ek narom ghum.Tarao porechhe ghumiye jatokhan tumi achho ghumiye. Kal bhore jagbe eksathe sakole. Bujhbeona sararaat mathar pashe ekjon chhhilo dariye. Kunthabhare abalokan kare param mamatai ar snehe. Take je nei keu debar ghum pariye.

AJ JYOTSNA RAATE SABAI GECHHE BONE

Godhulir bishanno aloi
Jwale othe mukhagnir agun
Naswar deho pure chhai hoye jai
Khinatanu, shirnakai nadite hoi bisarjan
Sei bhalobashar jan
Param mamatai je dhekechhe sarajibon

Fire ashi ghare
Ekti deep jwale kone
Je alor shikha khoje tomake
Urdhapane cheye nihshabde
Katha, kannar rol chhapiye

Baire kalo kalo gachh ar barigulor chhaya
Ar diganto plabito jyotsna
Bhashiye niye jai ei akash, mati ar prithibike
Bishanno paritakto ashonti
Barandar kone
Dure madoler ashpashto awaje
Samasta astitwa bole othe
Aj jyotsna raate sabai gechhe bone

Nei sudhu tumi
Tabu
Roile moner kone

(to the memory of my relative who passed away recently)

PRAN MRITYUHEEN

Sheeter sesh ar basanter shuru
Sandhai mayabi jochhonai
Ghash, pata ashrushikto
Heem pora uthone

Samasta raat jege pahara dei
Leper bhetor ghum
Dirghayito raat kare
Stabdha kolahol
Raasta pash fire shoi
Cheye thake abak prithibi
Lampposter holud alote

Sakale sada kuashar astorone
Dhaka thake charachar
Armora bhenge raasta
Abar chit hoi
Jege othar shabde
Pakhider kujone

Fer arekta din shuru hoi
Shuru hoi benche thakar akakhanka
Ar maroner ek pa kachhe jaoa

Sakaler narom roder sparshe
Ulanga gachher dal fure
Ber hoi
Ekti sobuj kachi pata
Geye othe
Mrityuheen pran.

VALENTINE'S DAY

Map er majhe kato kalo daag tene
Anka hoi simana
Abar pala badaler pala ele
Muchhe jai purono simana
Anka hoi notun daag notun simana

Simanta rakkhider payer booter awaje
Bonduker nale, guli ar baruder gandhe
Simana kepe kepe othe
Theke theke
Manusher bhalobasha muchhe jai
Jodio akash ek mati ek

Jiboner samparker simanao
Shore shore jai
Hotat kachher manush hoye jai durer
Durattwo bere bere jai
Abiswas ahamika tarko jhagra bhul bojhabujhite
Kepe kepe othe bhalobasha
Tene dei kantatarer bera
Bhalobashar rakta jhare
Rakte hoye othe lal
Valentine dayer golap

Khama, prem, shahishnuta, titkhar rang sada
Je sada rakter lalke kare golapi
Bhalobashar rang
Je rang chhoriye thake
Manusher mone, hridaye
Akasher neel ar matir dhulor mato
Sarbatro... ... ...

Tai aj valentine's day

TABU ALOR APEKKHAI

Ekta ekta kore
Setu periye jai
Ekta ekta kore
Janapad jai hariye

Andharer buk chire
Railgari dhaboman
Kromagato durattwo bariye
Dujoner majhe

Tabuo,
Alor apekkhai thaki
Je kakhon bhor hoi
Habe notun surjodoi

BHANGA AIYNA

Samaier saroni beye
Jodi jete partam
Bhanga aiynar tukroguli
Ful hoye jeto

Purono prithibitake
Purono dingulo
Fire ashto
Kato bhalo hoto

Aiynar tukrogulo
Lege jabe jora
Abar aiynai protichhobi
Dekhbo
Tomar amar

the killing of the foetus

the heart breaks

to kill the foetus

even when the world beyond beckons

to conquer the world

or to the call of another love



or to save

from the throes of labour

and the pain of childbirth

of an unwanted child

or when lost in a maze

or in a quagmire

where we feel suffocated



yet forgive my Lord

for that crime committed

a drop of tear rolls down

the future and the past

becomes obfuscated

in the watery grave

of the foetus,

our love... ...



(my first and may be the last poem in english

BHALOBASHA

Hoito etai bhalobasha
Ektu kachhe paoa
Ektu kachhe chaoa
Ektu mon deoa neoa
Ekisathe chola

Ekta pagol hawa
Ulte dei chaoa paoa
Ekta udasi megh
Ane ashamaier barsha
Hatathi shuru hoi
Nadite ulto bawa

Jibonta cholena keno
Janma theke mrityu
Ekta saralrekhai ?
Pathtake dei ghuriye
Ghurni hawar damka

SUKHER ASHAI... ...

Sararat kato katha boli tomar sange

Sararat kato katha boli nijer sange

Tomate amate tafat bujhi na go

Hatat raate pash fire dekhi tumi pashe neito

Ekdin dekho pash fire dhorbo tule mukhta

Mukh dubiye bashbo bhalo

Ashbei ekdin anato ei shukhta
