Soptopodi

Brishti re tui sohaag niye
Toptopiye, jhomjhomiye,
Aay na amar agol bhenge.
Jhanpi khule ador debo,
Bhalobashay bhoriye debo,
Tui amar bondhu hole,
Moner kotha bolbo khule.
Brishti re tui hobi nodi?
Tor songe ei jonomer
Hok na amar soptopodi.

Ghuri ke

Dur akashe ghuri ore,
Mon chole jay kon sudure.
O ghuri tui dekhte ki paash,
Buker majhe ke kore baash?
Tar jonyoi tapur tupur,
Meghla sokal, ekla dupur.
Tar jonyo bikel belay,
Krishnochura akash rangay.
Tar jonyoi sNaaj sokal
Sohag nodi uthal pathal.
o ghuRi tui uRe uRe
dokhin hawa-r sur'e sur'e
amay khnuje ene dena
bhalobasa-r sei Thikana.

Hariye jaawa kothara

Kothara jhore pore tuptap,
naishhobder modhye.
hariye jaay bhorer shishirer moto,
koto din shona hoyni.
tomar chokher taray
Jhikiye othanotun kono bismoy
kotodin dekha hoyni.
chokher kon beye je hasi
goriye name thot obdi,
kotodin chhoya hoyni.
pashapashi thaki, tobuo jojon durotyo
borof shitol paharer moto,
hather uttape take golate parini.
bhabi dakbo, aroshto jeev,
pechiye dhorche konthonali,
kotodin ami nijer songei kotha bolini.

Aay Brishti

Meghe chchaoa akash dekhe
Bhorbela mon neche othe.
Aar kotodin thakbe rege,
Ebar thik asbe chole.
Ashay ashay buk baNdha,
Meghomallare sur sadha.
Jotoi bela baRte thake,
Meghera dure sorte thake.
Surjo baRaye chokh rangani,
Gheme neye uthchhi ami.
Jole pure sob hochhe khak,
Grishsho ebar nipat jak.
Ore surjo khanto de,
Brishti re tui aay jhNepe.

Shok

Ke korechhe shuru, ke korbe sesh
Keu jane na,
baRchhe sudhu hinsha aar dwesh.
Epaare agneoastro, opare oshi jholkay,
Tar majhkhane manob boma
Nishthur ebong oshohaay.
Sudhu sondeho aar obishyaash,
Chhaya dekhleo bhoy hoy.
Eki sudhu mrityu naki
Manobotar obokhoy?
Ekta boma tukro kore dey
Koto shorir-
Shoke tukro hochhi ami, tumi,
Ebong dekho amar matribhumi.

Megh-pakhi

Tukus jol jei na elo chokher kone,
Megh-pakhir danay mure
Pathiye dilam tomar kachhe.
Ora tomay nebe chine,
Tomar buke jhNapiye pore
Bolbe kotha kane kane.
Du haath diye mukhe mathay
Mekho tumi ador kore.
Jemonti thik thakle kachche
Ditam tomay sohaag bhore.

Those eyes

His eyes-
They stared at me.
I shifted my glance
Lest he comes to know.
But his piercing eyes
Penetrated my soul.
Little did I know
How that day
My destiny was shaped.
That stare stayed with me
Long after he was gone.
In my dreams
He still stares at me,
that piercing glance-
his lips curled up.
He asks me, “do you still...?”
How can I tell him now
What I couldn’t that day?
So I bleed, blanketed by sorrow
A victim of my own destiny.
