    Day job

    Employed on daily basis
    Mr. Nasirul Haque,
    Devoted life to service
    No, he is completely wrong.

    Attend on time every day-
    Even some days,
    arrive at work before everyone else,
    Work with focus-
    Although the authorities most days
    keep him busy with more working hours,
    Under some guise.

    For these additional functions
    He receives no remuneration,
    Happily accepts monthly salary
    And nothing more.

    Yet he is devoted to his work
    Always conscious of duty,
    Although all grow at an exponential rate
    Not only does his salary.

    (The name is an imaginary one.)

    Killing trees

    The branch fell from the tree on the way,
    The branch weeps and says, O Mother
    Does happiness lies in this.

    The tree laughs and says, O my child
    Don't be impatient.
    I have given you as a gift, to the human race
    Bless you Karmavir.

    There are also so many delicious fruits-
    When they are satisfied with them,
    I am successful in that.

    The branch understands all,
    Staying silent but looking for-
    Alas true happiness!

    But why are they
    Whenever get a chance
    Looking forward to killing the tree?

    Desire

    Let the bleeding of the heart be soothed,
    May the soul's resonance be enlivened.

    Let the flame of consciousness burn,
    Let the imagery of thought be awakened.

    May pure understanding develop,
    Vanished away out of tempered concoction.

    Let illuminate enlightened insight,
    Banished away seduced mischief.

    A little light

    Give me some light, my love
    In a new morning, in the sunshine
    I will put it on
    And will sale from door to door-

    Give me some free air, my dear
    It's been a long time, I couldn't take a breath
    As if in the middle of the chest,
    I will shake my heart in that free air
    And I will say back,
    Come, all, to this open door—

    Give me some rain, my precious
    so that I can hide my crying,
    The house is tied to any passion
    Today it is broken.
    So I will try again this monsoon
    Again in the old tune-

    Give me some relief, my beloved
    I could not sleep for a long time, because of the pain of loss
    Passed the sleepless dew, for long long,
    If you get it, mixing the autumn clouds,
    With the starry sky
    Will go to sleep
    To see memorable dreams.

    Boat of oblivion

    Seeing the light of the elf-fire
    Did not lit in my house
    the evening lamp,
    Although it burns dimly,
    Darkness does not cut it.

    With great hope,
    I thought it would be like this
    Life without a light..

    I think hopelessly
    Where did it go?
    Thereafter,
    floating in the boat of oblivion
    flowing forever
    till the eternity.

    The planet

    Child, opens her eyes
    Looks around smooth earth,
    Abounding with many rivers and fruits,
    Full of grain and greenaries
    It is self sufficient.

    Someone said in a desperate voice
    O mother of the world,
    Will you remain so pure?
    Oh my planet.

    Looking around the world, sighing
    Says, oh my dear
    I am helpless because of you
    As, erosion is taking place at the source.

    Give me back the forest

    And in the playhouse of the stone-hewn palace
    Blocked without being restrained,
    I will go back to the hut thatched with tree-leaves of that village
    Where the sweet air flows pure.

    In the colored lights of the play house, sometimes
    I can't recognize myself anymore
    Oh the Mother earth, why hesitate, open it
    Open the chained door of my heart.

    Give me back, that forest
    Where lie my childish days,
    I want to shout and say, I am forever happy
    My footsteps are there.

    I don't need the lion door
    I don't need this vain fame,
    Being on the dewy grass
    Lying down, looking at the blueness of the sky,
    And will sing, day and night in the joy of life.

    Cocoon

    Yet, there could be
    another path, or
    another time, or
    another life-

    Like a butterfly,
    evolved from an ugly cocoon,
    reshaped,
    refreshed,
    retrospective to the mother nature-

    Life, as it would be,
    as it would be...

    The beginning of the end

    The whole world stopped suddenly.
    In some unknown fear-
    The hullabaloo has stopped,
    Movement has stopped
    Exuberance has stopped.

    Unknowingly
    or of it’s own accord,
    In a familiar yet unfamiliar world
    Limited stroll -
    Towards the wearied sky
    Back to casual looking.

    Where are you, family?
    Respond!
    Because the mind is very uncluttered,
    A little conversation with relatives,
    Or a bit of looking, whether it floats in the ether.
    Even if only for a moment
    All activities have stopped.

    Perhaps
    All will begin again,
    The commotion will begin again,
    Movement will begin again.
    Exuberance will begin again.
    But what does it indicate,
    Is this the end of the beginning?
    Or the beginning of the end?

    The epic of Independence

    Showed the index finger that day,
    The one-
    For which the country became independent.

    He said, to the
    Seven and a half crores Bengalis
    To take arms:

    Said more,
    To liberate the country with all the capabilities.

    That call was
    Sublime, Lucid, Melodious-
    And that was this country’s
    The epic of Independence.

    Let it fill the hearts of all Bengalis
    With words of wisdom,
    Remain in the form of radiance
    By becoming witness of the eternity.

    Karma

    Karma is my power
    Find peace in mind by working
    There is the relief even if destitute
    There is no abode for the indolent.

    Hold the oar with strong hands
    With a strong hand lead the plough,
    Whatever is near or the back
    Sing the song of survival.

    Be small, be insignificant
    Work eagerly and eat day-to-day,
    There is happiness in struggle
    There is no shame in that.

    Farewell Fagun

    Fagun is saying, “Good Bye”
    Who is looking for the stolen heart?
    Filled in this south blown wind.

    Who wants to go back looking for the past?
    In the midst of isolated soul
    In which tune he sang?

    Thoughts are crying in the far,
    Heart's words remained stale
    On the banks of the slow flowing Jamuna.

    Twilight is set today with much decoration,
    In the shadow of the clouds in the distant sky
    With those shining stars.

    Moon woke up full, almost full
    Heart woke up in the depths of memory
    Entered in a thirsty soul.

    In this unbroken moonlight,
    Someone opens the heart to the silver beam
    Who wants whom?

    Note: Fagun is a month of Bengali calendar.

    Call back

    Narrow clouds are playing in the distressed sky,
    Cannot spent this time with an empty heart.

    The hungry owls simply went to sleep.
    What happened to the flowers of cactus blooming untimely?

    In what tune do the birds sing at night,
    What does the hornet wants at the blind garden?

    Earth wakes up to a sleep-awakening song,
    In the morning breeze, the soul felt empty.

    Where goes the charioteer of warrior Arjuna?
    Saussurea obvallata floated in the middle of the still lake.

    Peacocks give a blank look towards the peahens,
    Wild nightingale sings in what tune?

    Why is sun getting up late today?
    However, the heart calls back to whom, unknown.

    Successive

    Dressed today in the south wind
    Flowers of the remote island-
    Full moon night glazed to the tune of Madhabi flower
    Where did flute play?

    Blowed where on a river bank
    The flute of sadness,
    Who woke up in the shade of Mahogany tree
    With enchanted smile.

    Halfly asleeped shy creeper
    Still not opened her eyes,
    Where the slow flowing river flows
    Keeping her current behind.

    The dream is awake in the moon light night
    On the branch, where the dove is sleeping,
    Floating in the imaginary world
    Who calls with the elapsed melody.

    A little peace

    Finally,
    She sits on the bench,
    Tried to take a breath of calm -
    All marginal needs
    Pledged to time,
    With any long distance train
    Like running without a whistle,
    It will suddenly stop moving.

    Then she will take a walk in the open courtyard.
    From where the balcony is loaded with the handle of the bamboo ladder
    The open sky can be seen.

    Blue sky!
    Haven't had a chance to look there for a long time -
    From dawn to noon, till the evening lights are lit,
    Pick dry wood,
    Pushes the kitchen,
    Clean the window rust,
    Entwined those reed branches,
    Washed off the scum from husband's undervest,
    By buttoning the eldest son's shirt,
    Sew the sleeve of the little girl's dress.

    Although a little bit of time arrived;
    From where came a stormy crow
    Sitting on the courtyard, started yelling-
    "I want some food for...

    Passer by

    Behold!
    Who passes by?

    Intricate imagination,
    Lifeless thought,
    Prolonged burden,
    Sudden nightmare?

    Someone tried to sing a choir
    But, alone
    In the middle of nowhere
    Perhaps emptiness only surround.

    Behold!
    Who passes by?

    Discarded waiting,
    Slender hope,
    Bitter expectation,
    Tuneless descant?

    The nest

    Innocent super monstrous empty smile,
    That smile is so insidious-
    The meaning of which I couldn't find till today,
    And it's alike, when did it become stale?

    Earthly or death,
    Never had time to think about it-
    On the perimeter of the dry oasis,
    Aimless movement still.

    In dark-encrusted salt water, non-invasive transmission
    It is as if in a lifeless body, the origin of the heart.

    What is memory loss?
    I see the crowd of queues,
    Or family of migratory birds
    Find their nest in the twilight.

    Reoccurrence

    Is the dream finally broken?
    Can not be deciphered, the writing of destiny!
    Then, wandering towards the stark reality.

    In purity of soul, remembering Him,
    Determined determination.

    In receiving the order,
    No more pointless crossings.

    What a lust called!
    All are illusory, all are mortal,
    When the day terminates, all will be covered in deep darkness.

    No more the temptation of hypocrisy,
    No more, inevitable bleeding of the heart,
    O Indestructible!
    Permeate my heart,
    Unconditional return to You.

    Fagun

    Fagun came back silently
    The murmur of falling leaves stopped,
    Soul thrilled as the south wind blows
    As if nectar flowed from the blue sky.

    Countless flowers bloomed in the forest,
    Silk cotton, Butea, Bud flowers filled all eyes.

    In the colors of Caesalpinia pulcherrima, nature laid out
    The elusive earth catch in maroon color,
    She looks amazingly glamorous
    Fill the heart with joy.

    The river flows slowly with murmuring sound
    Two eyes are fascinated by the scenery,
    Feels proud to describe
    The footsteps of poetry are enriched.

    Desire

    The millennium is over,
    How much water flows in the river Padma,
    Someone keeps track of that!
    In this short-lived life,
    Filled with ups and downs,
    Only waves of pain flow.

    I am at the crossroads of tomorrow,
    With aspirant hope raising both arms.

    Everything is in motionless motion-
    All speeches seem to be lost,
    All reflections have disappeared,
    Only the heart can tell, whom it wants.

    Turn around silently,
    The mountain of thoughts are in front,
    Can they be recognized?
    Time flies like a butterfly
    Wants to look at the annihilation,
    Again searching for what has been lost on the way.

    A group of fireflies

    A group of fireflies,
    With longing for life, very quiet
    Spread the light in the darkness of the bamboo garden and say,
    We wanted to enlighten the whole world like this-

    A group of fireflies,
    Illuminated,
    The house where the unlucky mother turned off the lamp, without any compensation
    Till the sky becomes rubicund, by the dawn-

    A group of fireflies,
    Forgetting arrogance, gathered under the bench of Dukhai's kitchen
    Gathered, and brightened with the light,
    Until the fire in the oven is re-ignited.

    A group of fireflies,
    When the gaps in the Mahogany tree vanishes, tell the full-grown moon to fall into the bushes of Phenymansa,
    Said, No problem, you get some rest,
    We are here to enlighten the earth.

    A group of fireflies,
    Woke up on the very first morning of the Ekushey,
    Shine by exposing the foot of the Martyr Monument,
    And they said, sleep...

    The past

    Alas, the stagnant past,
    Fell into utter darkness.
    The heart is pounding,
    Opening the closed door.

    Alas, the starving past,
    Ability is very limited.
    The policy is worn out,
    Thin and lean in half bed.

    Alas, the unspoken past,
    Written with an unclear mind.
    From a lonely God,
    Avatar of deviation.

    Alas, the faded past,
    The attainment is inlaid.
    Deluded with situation comedies,
    Worn out in childishness.

    Sapphire

    Oh, wearing sapphire,
    Who goes there walking in heavy rain?
    Kadamba and screw-pine are blooming in the garden.

    Come on in a  hefty watery rainy day,
    What is the melody ringing in my heart!
    Would I be able to recognize her?

    Thick cloud is kissing the blue sky,
    Looking at them with flashing eye-
    Gardenia is swaying in the south wind below.

    Where are you going placing morning glory on the chignon?
    I just sat there with mirthless heart-
    The tide rises again in the ever-flowing river.

    Extend the hand of cooperation,
    The light of non-violence ignites in the heart

    Nature

    Suddenly the wind sways
    The flower of Nymphaeaceae shook-
    The girl wearing azure blue sari came,
    Pull it out of the water with both hands,
    It will become food before the mass noon terminates.

    They came from Maltigaon
    How many children, old and young, emptying the village,
    They too have jumped into the lake like that,
    Carp, Snakehead, Shoal, Mullet
    Whatever it is, it will be lost today,
    All empty before the rage of the clouds.

    Hanging on reed branches
    The Kingfisher is also in oblivion-
    There is nothing left for dinner.

    Meanwhile the neglected crabs,
    Dry sighs and wants to drink from the sky,
    Some say, "I want to breathe a sigh of relief!"

    Daughter of water

    The daughter of water is running towards the home
    After taking a shower in the sea water,
    Bland shades thus looks towards
    To see her, passionately.

    The drunken wind is blowing there
    Spreading her body odor,
    The silver anklet is playing on the feet
    The mind-soul is pacified.

    Rubbing collyrium in her two eyes
    Bunch of flowers in her chignon,
    She is walking on red feet by painting with lack-dye
    A white flower pendant in the ear.

    Which crystal water filled the eyes
    What a deep love there,
    Gallinules are singing in unison
    Her body is filled with gold color.

    Beckoning with the hand

    The deep forest calls out,
    In the tenderness of the leaves
    What an illusion is involved.

    The murmur of dried leaves
    Blow in which tune,
    Hijal, tamal, in the shade of shawl
    Called away in a remote place.

    Curved narrow paths
    Merged into an unknown border,
    Green forest surrounded by shade
    Prate by prying.

    The dew of the grass wraps around the feet
    Still walking randomly,
    The rainbow came and filled my heart
    I want to return to her embrace.

    Farewell bell

    Suddenly the farewell bell rang,
    Who or what will be lost forever
    Gave the advance message.

    The eagle that flies alone in the sky,
    Or the old vulture perched on a palm tree,
    Or the memories arranged in the middle of the heart.

    Standing in the shade of a tree,
    The whole world revolved unexpectedly,
    And according to Newton's third law-
    Every action is like an equal and opposite reaction,
    The activities shifted.

    Suddenly again,
    Wind, clouds, sunshine, rain, storm,
    All the matches became one.
    And standing at the crossroads,
    The emaciated, hungry child cried and said:
    "I want a handful of food!"

    Never know

    The moonlight disappeared suddenly,
    Took the darkness with her-
    Who placed passion-flower in her ears,
    With a uncomprehending smile,
    With a cowardly step who came and stood in the corner of the square.

    Silver moon,
    That is painted only on the painter's canvas.
    Under the bare wood apple tree, or on the edge of the cinnamon forest,
    Is anyone waiting for someone?

    With a weak argument,
    What a tense memory to hold!
    On the other hand, in earthen plate, the rice is poured with water
    But the tailed dog plundered all,
    And I stood under the darkness,
    Recite Shakespeare's lyric.

    Yet I don’t know why, but hear
    The fasting street child continues to say,
    "Give me a handful of food!"
    I can't write poetry anymore.

    Song of life

    Building the canopy with dry grass and leaf
    Tied up their house,
    Still in the house corner, with full of smiles
    Enchantress is active.

    Housewife living in the illusion of home
    Hides her shy face,
    Two companions in happiness and sorrow
    In private.

    Menting the old net with Ebenaceae juice
    Fisherman rushing to the river,
    Fisherwoman looks towards his way
    Sings in a melodious tone.

    Seen in new tidal waters
    New song of life,
    Standing on the mildly flown banks of the Jamuna
    Fill their mind and soul.

    Waiting

    River flows through singing silent murmurs
    The young woman stood up by the side and looked at the sky.

    When the boat will bring her heart back
    She will take care of him.

    Emotions increase without seeing him
    In the middle of the heart, beat did not stay.

    Everyone came back but he did not
    He did not appear to be seen.

    Her thin mind is sad by thinking
    It's raining cats and dogs through her eyes.

    How long has it been passed like this?
    Still waiting for her love to come.

    Desires

    Indomitable desires,
    The bald bubble remained invisible in the bushes.

    There is a whimsical settlement of the people near the shore,
    On the uneven shores of thought-
    Listen to the song of the elusive rain,
    Match the eyes, shed tears-
    It is mixed within the soul to soul.

    Only now doves graze in the courtyard of the house,
    Filled with loneliness all the time,
    Through the gaps of carelessly growing shrubs,
    The torn moon peeks out.

    And consumes eternally,
    With the hopeless thoughts,
    Yet suddenly attacked-
    Weeping desires, in the valley of the last sleep.

    Lines

    I gave freedom to those lines,
    Let them fly in infinite space-
    Flying unhindered,
    So that no one else
    Can't capture them unnecessarily,
    Let them just say with open their minds.

    There is no stopping for any reason,
    Let everyone make their debut in a drunken state.
    Paint in abstract desires,
    Long-distance paths-
    It rubs and corrects the rust of the heart,
    I left the lines again to fly.

    It's like finding yourself anew,
    Floating on the ferry of life, rushing to the drink of lifeless feelings.

    Something

    Sometime, some period, some days, some months, some years,
    Some eras, some centuries, some millennia-
    Everything is limited to that "something".

    And that is the smallest part of the eternal universe,
    It is only a part of what is being described.

    Invisible to the idea, there is no "anything",
    Even if I leave, it does not leave me.

    Life revolves around this "something",
    All wanderings are limited to this "something".

    Although this "something" refers only to something,
    Yet the scope of this "something" is not known,
    Receiving of "something" not to be known too,
    Finally,  everything ends within this "something".

    Desire

    Fat less bone chewing
    Extended delivery of debt.

    Floating in imaginary happiness
    Smile in a broken heart.
    The rise of thought which is invisible
    Fainting in the imagination.
    Thoughtless consciousness
    Worship without offering.

    I kept within silent thinking
    Ride in the free tide.
    Fascinated by the incarnation of the event
    The soul is angry at the not so long ambiance.
    Ah! Unmixed results
    Let the surface start from Zero.

    Environment

    Suddenly looking at the open sky,
    I raised my arms and asked-
    “Oh space!
    Is your zodiac still intact?”

    He answered with a sad face-
    “In the uninterrupted activity of humankind
    Ozone layer is followed by fatigue and constant tiredness.
    As a result, the earth is becoming untidy;
    Somewhere prolonged drought,
    Extreme flooding somewhere,
    A catastrophic storm somewhere,
    Tsunami somewhere,
    Glacier somewhere.
    But what about them, will their own end
    Be caused by themselves, soon!”

    Dissection

    Optional dissection of the heart-
    Again, not in the traditional way,
    In sophisticated automation technology-
    Which has not been noticed before.

    So be it
    Can be described,
    All those specific processes.
    There is no fear of being aroused,
    Because it was not affected by any epidemic.

    Solid routine activities-
    But precaution has been taken,
    Where-
    Premature death does not occur,
    Since there is no one to go to voluntary burning, back and forth.

    I said

    I told the housewife-
    Be kind!
    She didn't listen,
    Unwanted pain scrambled in the heart.

    I said to the earth-
    Why hesitate!
    I can't stand it anymore,
    Can't see all those closed doors.

    I told the night-
    Get some sleep!
    I am very tired of passing sleepless hours,
    So in a trembling foot, I am moving, stopping, stopping.

    I told the boat-
    Take me to the shore!
    It left with the other visitors, but me,
    What sacrificial fire entered into the heart.

    Thereafter-
    I sat down in awe,
    The moon appeared at the end of daytime,
    Remained exhaled by the clamors of grigs.

    The beginning of the end

    The end is not the end,
    That is why the remnants were left.
    Who's calling today in which tune,
    Though remain eager to obtain something.

    Before I could think about it, I started walking,
    Walked from axis to axis, alliance to alliance
    The heart became thick in the crowd of sadness.

    I lost myself in those unprotected borders,
    Though there were compassionate efforts to illuminate the path,
    In the light of gradual aging.

    Still searching in the shadow of oblivion,
    Day’s sun laid to the western sky,
    And in front there is the white mountain of hope.

    And no turning back,
    And no more "Let bygones be bygones" -
    Let go off all those repentance,
    Stay away from all the bad omens.

    Delusion

    Kautilya or Katyayan,
    They were the best examples in their own essence.

    Khana or Galileo,
    Couldn't be to become too dear to many.

    Van Gogh or Jibanananda Das,
    Society did not recognize them, all were delusions.

    Sukarno or Kamal Ataturk,
    Have they got the real happiness of freedom?

    Asking questions back to whom today,
    To answer these, who remains there!

    Destiny

    Perimeter is perimeter-
    Its diameter, radius is constant.
    And for the necessities of life
    Around that perimeter,
    Continuously coming and going.

    Alas destiny!
    Do you want to return without any need?
    In the twilight hours, or on a catastrophic morning.
    Will I be able to see you.

    What a zero perception!
    Ah, what a repetitive format -
    Torn pages of a fragmentary novel,
    In the bitterness of summer, in the footsteps of memory
    There was a murmur,
    However, it is very indistinct.

    Shrouded in the thick fog of thought,
    That destiny-
    Cannot be seen even in successive incarnations.
    That is indestructibly invisible!

    Footprints

    Footprints-
    When did they fade away,
    In which inauspicious time
    Only dust has increased step by step.

    In a similar time-
    Started walking again,
    Stay behind all those hopes and mis-hopes
    Anything remains are gone.

    No more lament-
    Silently wipe the tears,
    Tiny moments remain forgotten
    The dialogue is missing.

    Floating in the sea of hope-
    Firmly grasp the helm,
    On the way forward
    Love the silent acceleration.

    Sarengi

    Suddenly, the sarengi rose to a certain tune,
    The heart woke up and looks towards far away.

    The homeless mind lost its way in an unknown direction,
    However, extended the hand saying that it would be time to leave.

    What else does it take to tie the wire apart from the binding,
    Perhaps, there was a dry bouquet on the open window.

    What will happen if the tomorrow remains to be recognized,
    Though trying to make up for those lost old days.

    In search of happiness

    In search of trembling happiness
    The worn heart understands whatever.

    Cold air is blowing in the field
    Spending all the time by thinking.

    Already lost the way forward
    Where do I stand with my hopes extended.

    The past is behind the speed of life
    Gets tired of finding the wrong path.

    Weevil filled path spreads despair
    However, the sun sets at end of the day.

    Good time

    In a windless winter
    crystal snowflakes were
    falling from the sky-

    They were falling,
    falling all around me,
    my neck, my head,
    on my wet eyes-

    With the stalled wind, there was
    no illusion in the mind
    as I could feel all my pain-

    However, I thought I could find a
    piece of summer heat wave
    within your heart-

    But, as you did, whatever your
    heart desired and
    all of them are currently
    sudden fractions -

    Now, everything is falling apart
    nothing is though new
    but happening almost
    every now and then-

    Hence, I thought, I will wait here
    for a while, if not
    for a lifetime-
    And, desiring that those good time
    somehow will
    come back again.

    Respect

    I supported you
    for not that I loved you
    that much,
    but, because I did not want
    to be alone-

    I do not pretend
    to be fair by myself
    due to many factors,
    but, the foremost was
    the respect between two souls.

    Half of the heart

    and, I know where your
    other half of the heart-

    though, broken and sordid-

    I just ignore the other half of you
    that broke full of my heart.

    Crack of dawn

    Bondless stars dancing in holocaust
    They fell in a meteor shower, suddenly.

    I want to renew my wishes, once more
    That's why I look at the heavens.

    The earth lost her drowsiness,
    While the sun light filled the hollow sky.

    The river dances with her own current,
    She goes on towards the sea, for ever.

    What do I hope to sing, at this moment
    Woke up in the crack of dawn, in brevity.

    Time

    Entering into the nucleus of time,
    I saw-
    The densest of its protoplasm,
    And the part behind the unraised curtain.

    Whatever, is in there, as
    Successful cells of life
    Controls all biological reactions.

    That, remain
    Innumerable in the center of the soul
    Consists of a combination of protons and neutrons.

    Where,
    A relatively clear organ exists,
    Which is the carrier of perpetuity,
    And multidimensional;
    As well as it is a silent witness of the eternity!

    Poetry

    Finding poetry writing materials-
    It is as if the walls are surrounded by an unknown dream.

    Before the end of the story of Konakchampa,
    The fragrance of Yuthika, that floats in the air, leaving well.

    Content seems not as comfortable as before,
    Yet the heart is full with the joy of emotion.

    Let's write about vivacity, passion, and radiance,
    If not, something about unbroken spring-
    In the midst of unhappiness, but likely to be of joy,
    Let the words of the poem float, as it were everywhere.

    Sitting still with emotion,
    As time goes on, so does infinity.

    However, it seems to be why,
    To the hungry street child, white rice is more demanding.

    Thoughts

    Yours sincerely,
    I think it's just a lie-
    The intoxication fell apart,
    Thoughts are always left behind.

    In that swing without swing,
    Cannot find the reach-
    Dam breaks in the tide,
    I took life as it is and understood.

    Came the dark on the path,
    I'm still going on.

    When the lamp is lit in the evening,
    Remain as heartbroken.

    Keeping the door closed,
    I went to see the other plans.

    In the crowd of unnamed roads,
    Looking for those unknown signs -
    The mind cries as it leaves apart,
    The soul is lost again.

    Unspoken utterances

    How do I tell someone,
    Which way to go-
    All the ways met there,
    In the back alley of life.

    Standing on the other side of the border,
    I pry by raising both arms-
    Tired traveler loses target,
    Bumblebee is looking for the nectar.

    In what tune did I sing,
    Though, I want to fulfill my soul-
    Scattered flower petals on the pavement,
    Someone trampled them.

    What am I thinking today,
    Is which color the sky has laid out?
    Again, I am looking for the way with false hope,
    Flowers are falling with silent cry.

    Homeland

    Girt with rivers, abounding with fruitful trees;
    With land of harvest, full of greeneries,
    Oh, my motherland,
    Keep your devotion in my heart
    You are eternal.

    How many rivers flow
    All over your perimeter
    Nameless birds live
    Happily in all those trees.

    How many flowers bloom in the forest
    The mind is filled with their fragrance,
    How many scrumptious fruits grow on the tree
    In those satiated gardens.

    You remain profound in our heart
    Let us praise you,
    Stimulating happiness and prosperity
    Make us dignified.

    Consciousness

    Browsing the dictionary,
    I wanted to make life tidy.
    Promised,
    Remained above adversity-
    Tolerating all iniquities.

    The heart is filled with dissatisfaction,
    Although I have dedicated all my activities-
    To all the well-wishers.

    I'm in pain today,
    Yet I did not make the treaty unjustly-
    Betting on my life.

    In this way passed those days,
    Ideas all suffer from delusions-
    Destiny faded with the eternity.

    Assignation

    Who goes to assignation, in a pleasant promenade of grove,
    The flame of love is burning there
    Which great warrior is singing melodiously?
    In the middle of the unobstructed heart, the sound of the anklet jingling.
    Who goes to assignation, in a pleasant promenade of grove.

    Awake the night, taken the heart,
    In the auspicious moment of moonlight
    Very silently under the mimusops elengi
    Said the words of the stored heart, inseparably.

    So to ask, to whom to call in any tune,
    The submerged heart remains full
    The Jamuna flows exhausted
    Even today, with painted eyes, what a picture to draw.

    Who goes to assignation, in a pleasant promenade of grove,
    The flame of love is burning there
    Which great warrior is singing there?
    In the middle of the unobstructed heart, the sound of the anklet jingling.

    The stagnant past

    Alas, the stagnant past, falling into utter darkness
    My heart is pounding, the door is open and closed.

    Alas, the endless past, without the lure of ability
    The dictum is worn out in sentences, half awakened though.

    Alas, the indefatigable past, composed with a fearless heart
    Lonely as the incarnation of any God, deviation of Avatar.

    Alas, the faded past, the gain is inlaid
    Drenched in delusion, perhaps, worn out in childishness.

    Ever-continuing

    The shadow is the nest of deep peace
    This is within my village,
    Waves playing in the green field
    It flows from the south.

    The field is full of
    Golden rice,
    The shepherd boy sits in the shade
    Plays to the tune unknown.

    The river flows with gentle sound
    Many boats are docked in the quay,
    Little children remain engaged
    In the village market with full of colors.

    In the water of the paved lake
    Lotus flower is in bloom,
    Hanging on the ears of the village bride
    Passion flower’s pendant.

    The heart remained stagnant
    In the firefly glowed night,
    I hope to awaken the soul
    In the womb of the new morning.

    In a secret dream

    In a dream, in a very secret dream-
    I thought about someone in deep secret ..

    I am a dreamer,
    Day to day belongs to the hope
    And the path goes on and on.

    Oh the past! Beyond my hope-
    I saw that fell by each and every moment.

    In intense silence,
    The moments are gone passed
    Still thinking anxiously.

    O neighbor of my heart-
    When you have become a distant stranger.

    Never know
    Could not read my heart, with exhaled compassion -
    I saw all in the middle of a dream,
    It floats in the blink of an eye.

    In a dream, in a very silent dream-
    I saw someone in deep secret ..

    Good for nothing

    There is a pile of wood by the side of the oven.
    Today's cooking will be using them.

    Chewing-sucking-licking-drinking,
    It is easily conceivable to be fond of eating.

    They are devoted souls in burning,
    This is their best salvation in the world.

    This is how they burn the entire day in the oven,
    Their self-sacrifice cannot fail.

    Next to it is a fallen log of a tree,
    He is different, so why he is so proud.

    He said jokingly, "You see,
    I am unharmed yet”.

    The housewife's eyes fell one day on it,
    Suddenly her face became gloomy.

    She said, Oh! wood, of no use,
    Get away from my kitchen.

    She threw it in the yard and kept it there,
    Seeing that, the piles of wood, were surprised!

    It becomes ants nest, even eaten by termites,
    He was left alone, helpless.

    Peace of mind

    Once in a life time
    a beggar, found a holed dime.

    He thought
    what would he do with it?
    He cannot buy a loaf of bread
    or, even a small slice of meat.

    As long as he thinks
    All his ideas become stinks
    and, finally he decided to throw it away,
    He threw the holed coin in the quay.

    He then realized,
    Whatever you seek in life, you will not find.
    Hence, it is better not to think about it
    and, it will bring you the piece of mind.

    Life!

    Life is a boiled egg
    does not have any leg,

    Father

    One day, a loving father
    bought a peculiar machine
    for his loving daughter

    A day unknown, the devoted father
    Bought his own heart

    do not care about the devotion and sacrifices

    Remain awaken, remain awaken-
    When the evening stars wear down and set to the western sky,
    And burns by glittering,
    Talk to them in a whispered voice-
    Remain awaken, remain awaken.

    Why do you plant poisonous trees with utmost care?
    And that is why it has been hanging in my shoulder since time immemorial.
    Although a truncated demon has swallowed everything,
    But I'm not the only one to lose.
    Remain awaken, remain awaken.

    I have fallen into the trap of temptation for a moment-

    Hope

    Hope-
    is a funny word,
    you know.

    Though it's comprised of
    only four alphabets,
    but, to most of the living things,
    it has no boundary,
    it has no end.

    Realizing the inherent fact
    that, most of the hopes
    just evaporate,
    or, may remain at the cocoon,
    or, may never see the face of light.

    All hopes, however, remain
    for days-months-years,
    throughout their lives
    in dispire!

    Not realizing the other fact
    that, hope belongs to the eternity.

    (Dispire meaning- To make someone less interested in pursuing a desired goal.)

    Smile

    Smile, a little
    or bray, cachinnate,
    cackle, chortle, chuckle, or giggle.

    You can have a reward smile

    could be a dominance smile
    even the lying smile
    Could be the wistful smile
    Conceivably the polite smile
    Possibly the flirtatious smile
    or, perchance the embarrassed smile.

    Does not matter!

    As long as you smile with your untainted heart,
    that's matters the most.

    Ungrateful

    The sadness of the ax reveals, without its handle,
    At the very near, finding a Ficus religiosa tree,
    Said, O my savior.

    Said in a gurgling voice-
    Will you provide me a dried bough,
    Only then can I be effective,
    I'll get back my working rhythm.

    With a huge heart of the tree,
    Said, my dear, obtain it,
    I’m donating it for your action.

    Suddenly the completed ax-
    Began to slash the trunk of the tree,
    To acknowledge the benefits of the benefactor
    Does anyone cares a little!

    Gary and the Lighthouse (part 9/9)

    (Continued from 8/9)

    The wicked witch feel hard,
    her body become emotionless
    by falling from the very high of
    the lighthouse-
    Gary observed
    silently from the abyss.

    Thus Gary remembered
    all those fables from his
    grandmother,
    as the stories of his
    entire life
    passes by his eyes.

    When he realized that
    the wicked witch is no more,
    he slowly climb down
    the stairs,
    and thanked
    wholeheartedly,
    the old lighthouse-
    that saved him too
    along with many many
    other souls
    throughout the century.

    To Gary,
    the old lighthouse
    remains as the symbol of
    courage, strength and
    inspiration-
    as he became old,
    he used to tell these stories
    to his grandchildren, and
    his grandchildren would tell them to
    their grandchildren,
    while the old lighthouse
    remains ...

    The wall

    The world is built around
    an invisible, but
    rigid wall.

    It separates, one kind
    from the other, and
    as such, the division continues.

    Does not matter, if someone
    resides in one side,
    or the other side-
    the destiny would be the same.

    Feelings

    Constantly trying
    To be excited,
    In the new consciousness-

    Situations are being observed
    However, seems to be submerged,
    In concentrated pain.

    Hope swings in despair
    Thought-consciousness-power perception,
    Plays in the middle of the fog
    From birth to death.

    Wrapped in the subsequent wrap
    Yet the journey ahead,
    Unexpected intent digs, and
    Increases only the level of hesitation.

    The heart returned crying
    When will it end,
    Surrounded by invisible feelings
    Think so all day long.

    Gary and the Lighthouse (part 8/9)

    (Continued from 7/9)

    He felt in his heart
    new inspiration
    and ran faster
    to reach the stairs
    of the right house.

    Gary remembered,
    in many occasions,
    he used to climb up to the
    top of the old lighthouse,
    from where he could see
    the entire landscape,
    the sea, the meadow,
    the mountain
    and his small township.

    Those stars were
    very familiar to him,
    so he could climb faster-
    thus the wicked witch
    tried hard.

    But, as he believed in his heart-
    when he reached the almost
    the top of the lighthouse,
    his feet did not slide
    but, the wicked witch’s-
    and he saw from the top,
    the wicked witch to fall.

    Real happiness

    Moon of the sky says, I have the light
    The flame of the soil made lamp says, I have the light!
    The burning candle says, I have the light
    The glowing neon lamp says, I have the light!
    The star wakes up and says, I have the light
    The torch shouts and says, I have the light!
    Firefly coughs and  says, I have the light
    The sun smiles and says, everyone stay well.

    (Continued from 6/9)

    He was becoming weak day by day,
    as the wicked witch was
    putting her black magic on
    Gary, remotely, however
    her main intention was to become
    immortal, by using
    a few drops of Gary’s blood.

    While sleeping,
    Gary had several nightmares
    about that wicked witch-
    because his soul could realize
    this happening ahead-of-time.

    As usual, Gary used to
    jog over several miles
    across the mountainside,
    the seaside and
    the by the side of the old lighthouse.

    One day while he was jogging,
    he heard a hissing sound
    behind his neck-
    he looked and instantly
    recognized the wicked witch
    was running after him-
    to catch him and
    get the blood for her black magic.

    He started running faster-
    suddenly some birds
    were flapping their wings loudly-
    he heard,
    dogs were ...

    Riverside life

    This side breaks, the other side builds
    This is the game of the river.
    In this game of breaking down and building
    Running the life along within the days.

    Those who live by the river
    The world of many sacrifices is theirs.
    Yet they fight
    In this range of life.

    In tune with the river
    This is the game of life and death.
    And, this game of breaking down and construction
    Is running timeless.

    And if these could be my last

    Sad by looking, but happy inside,

    Gary and the Lighthouse (part 6/9)

    (Continued from 5/9)

    Gary was not only a
    philosopher and philanthropist,
    but also a poet.

    He used to write beautiful
    poems at his leisure time.

    Once he wrote,
    to his girlfriend, Monica, a poem,

    “The sun is a lone warrior,
    because every night
    seems to be the last night to us,
    but while the sun rises
    all the darkness vanishes”.

    Another day, he wrote about
    The passion of life,
    for the local newspaper,

    “If you listen to the
    gentle breeze that is flowing
    over the green meadows
    where the morning sun
    is reflecting,
    you are going to listen
    it in the breeze
    and while you gasp
    towards the blue sky,
    it seems full of
    eternal aspirations-
    there you could see a steady
    but, glowing star
    that guide you
    throughout your life”.

    Butterfly said by calling, O bumblebee,
    Have you observed my colorful wings,
    Yet you are so dear to the bard?

    What a melody he has created for you,
    I remained unseen-
    As far as I fly across the sky.

    The bumblebees said, by whisper,
    My humming loudly penetrates to the soul.

    In addition, eating my collected honey,
    Everyone is happy, remain wonderful in heart and healing.

    Gary went to the town
    high school, where
    he met Monica,
    his classmate.

    They used to study together,
    play together,
    sing together,
    think together,
    till they become soulmates.

    The most important thing
    in his life occurred in that day
    when he found out
    about an unusual truth
    about his family tree.

    He is the first son
    of his father, thus
    his father, his grandfather
    till the seventh past generations.

    To him it become
    not a gift
    but a curse,
    as the wicked witch
    (who used to live inside
    the deep of the dark forest)
    learned about it.

    Salvation

    The forest cried out loudly- says, O mankind!
    Silently, in secret, I remain. Is it wrong?

    With shade, with fruit, I try to make you happy-
    I wish, let it be filled with enchanted environment.

    However, at any chance, being severed-
    In your actions, always remain frightened.

    Gush, when will you have a little bit of moderate knowledge?
    That day presumably will be our salvation.

    While walking across those paths
    for many years,
    his grandmother used to tell him
    a lot of other stories about life,
    nature and humanity.

    Once he asked his granny
    about the meaning of life-
    she said, “If you really
    wish to learn the true meaning
    of life, then accept the
    challenges that could come to you”.

    She further side, “Challenges
    are the best way
    that make us grow”.

    Gary took those words
    as milestones and
    took them very seriously,
    and thoughtfully-
    like the lighthouse,
    those words were
    also worked as
    the guide in his life.

    Gary's grandmother,
    while walking along the half-paved way
    towards the school and
    coming back,
    used to tell him
    many ancient fables about the
    prehistoric lighthouse.

    She told him that
    this light house is standing there
    over more than many decades, and
    not only it guided those lost sailors
    during the old days,
    but also
    saved them in many occasions
    by giving them shelter
    during natural disasters, like
    severe storms, hurricane and tidal waves.

    To Gary,
    the lighthouse became a symbol
    of strength and coverage,
    and at later stage
    it also saved his life
    at the right time,
    at the right moment.

    Realization

    The caged bird has such a great pride,
    He thinks the cage is a flowery garden.

    In his anxious mind, he looks towards the sky-
    He does not take other animal into count,
    He sings whatever comes in his own mind.

    Once someone forgot to close the cage door-
    Out of the cage he feels very proud,
    Tried to fly a little with the fragile wing in the air.

    Nah, he could not fly at ease -
    Also, no one care about it, as he did before towards them,
    He fell into a bitter conflict.

    Then, somehow coming back in the cage,
    He closed the door himself.

    Life is so easy to observe from the distance,
    It is so intricate to feel from the adjacent.

    Gary’s  grandfather was a
    very rich person and
    he inherited a gigantic
    piece of land with many
    trees and meadows near
    the mountain.

    When he became old enough
    to take care of them
    his father gave everything
    to him as a gesture
    of fatherly love-
    thus Gary used to live
    a decent life.

    He remembers,
    when he used to go
    to the nursery
    crossing those meadows,
    half paved roads,
    crossing a curved bridge-
    by holding hand of his
    grandmother,
    they used to pass by the sea
    where there was a
    very old lighthouse
    standing alone, like a fortress.

    Perception

    Being emotional, I sat down on the meadow
    The heart carries with all the unspoken words.

    Desired to catch the moon, no matter how it is
    Being distracted, it seems like a nightmare.

    Wanted to count all those glittering stars, with wide eyes in their range
    The whole thing goes to waiting, waiting, and waiting.

    Wanted to get down in the water, without knowing how to swim
    Get drowned in deep abyss.

    Wanted to sing a song, but couldn't understand the notation
    At this hour, in amazement, the mind and soul were aroused.

    You got the territory,

    In the betrayal of ignorance.

    But, everyone is dumb,

    We don't understand, why!

    And will not make any mistake knowingly

    holding the hand
    of his grandmother
    (his mother died
    while giving him birth),
    and theirafter
    his grandmother
    became his mother
    and seemingly, his father too
    (as his father used to
    work in a remote island
    as a fisherman).

    His father used to
    visit him occasionally
    because of the bond
    in between them
    (though his father got married
    and have his step brother
    and his step sister,
    he learnt from reliable sources),
    because they never met before.

    His father, Kevin
    liked him a lot and

    with a large number of gift items-

    Clumsy me

    Clumsy me,
    never thought that
    the life could take
    such a discourse
    such a dip
    such a diabolical turn.

    Between the hinges of
    acting or not-acting,
    what is inside the
    so-called life;
    is it a metaphor,
    is it an illusion,
    is it humble submission to the eternity?

    Sprout, but
    not cluttered in
    utmost thought,
    perhaps, someone
    is pulling the string
    from behind the curtain.

    Hence,
    everything and all other things
    are in vain-
    is it perpetuality? perpetual
    is it hypocrisy?
    is it pretendance? pretending
    is it
    never be able to distinguish-

    In the morning air.

    What a pleasant ambience.

    Many flowers are blooming in the garden,
    With a handshake at the beginning of the day
    Very thin clouds are floating in the sky.

    With pleasing minds.

    No more talking,
    There was a lot to say
    But, they remained as it is.

    The same hand holding the pen-
    Enlightens the consciousness
    The silence was broken.

    Back in the womb of tomorrow,
    On the banks of the river Kunur-

    Freedom of conscience awakens.

    There was a dark night,
    You were a passenger with us-
    By showing light to the unfortunate Bengalis
    Pave way the path to humanity.

    Being radiant forever
    We remain wake up in that fascination-
    The scope of the light of knowledge increased
    By those narrations of yours.

    You came during the storm of Jaistha,

    Twenty-three years of creativity
    Brought all the novelty in the planet.

    Waiting

    Leaving the tribe, away from the ally
    On the abstract ground
    Creating the separation, leaving addiction
    In the fence of consciousness.

    Hearing irony, taking all the blame
    In a three-way pain
    Measuring on what scale, in pressed utterance
    In the past grief.

    Whom to tell, which way to go
    Can't find direction
    In the lap of darkness, the day fell
    Covered in the darkest night.

    Tried to liberate, making the statement
    But keep on running
    Among the appraisal, remain waiting
    On the muddy shores of the river.

    Light spreads the game of darkness
    Flowed eternal stream of the Ganges.

    The soul began to swing,
    Heart is in the courtyard of some unknown arena
    That cannot be forgotten.

    Compact touch of southern breeze continued

    Just opened their eyes
    Half curved moon smiles in a sigh……

    In the sweet fragrance of Cestrum nocturnum

    The game of light and darkness goes on,
    The game of clouds is going on in the sky
    Time passes by chasing them.

    Cleric of memory

    Sadness cried back,
    Standing in the courtyard of the heart,
    Could not understand her indistinct cry,
    When consciousness returned, it was too late.

    The cart slammed to the side, the last whistle blew.
    I was not able to hear that,
    So, I remained in the unsurpassed desert,
    It seems to be waiting for the eternity.

    Have you seen anyone?
    The little invincible flower that blossomed!
    It was neglected as long as it was in the open.
    A beautiful butterfly,
    Sometimes sitting on it,
    I could not hear what was said between them.

    The female swallow, looks in the sky,
    By singing says "Some sparkled water!".
    No more heartbreak now,
    Because I'm stuck
    In the priesthood of prolonged memory,
    There is a layer of dust in the negligence.

    and devoted his time and effort
    for the betterment of humanity.

    He started new researches
    on the philosophy of life,
    depthness of life,
    the enormousity of the universe
    and became a renowned scholar.

    He started giving lectures
    across country wide
    and people respected him much
    for his unique wisdom.

    Later on
    saving his scholarship money
    and lecture money
    he built a research centre
    on remedy of scarlet fever,
    leukemia and other fatal diseases
    and keep the name of the
    research centre by his sister’s name.

    for the devotion of Gilbert
    towards humanity.

    Direction

    Yet for now, become defeated
    Seeing the game of life
    Back in sight, surrounded in heart
    Let's see all the time.

    I am stunned, but do not stop
    Across the turning points of life
    Come in relief, float in consciousness
    Glaze for a while.

    It's late on the way, so find out
    Traveler with the missing target
    Looking at the scene, unfamiliar world
    Perhaps the steps were not extend correctly.

    In the earthly heat, in the draught
    Somehow lost the direction
    Return always at the same path, with stagnant mind
    The darkness do not leave.

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (9/10)

    (Continued from 8/10)


    After hours (or days) of
    the conversations, he could realize
    the fact that,
    there is no control over
    the afterlife and no one
    but the creature controls
    what should happen to those souls.

    He thought,
    he breathe deeply,
    he took everything very seriously
    and then took farewell
    from the spiritual ghost.

    Suddenly, the returning path
    becomes so shortened,
    after a few hours he arrived
    at the flowing river’s bank
    and surprisingly found
    the one eyed helmsman is waiting for him.

    Respect

    The sun laughs and says,
    The light that illuminates the world in from me-
    Yet why cannot I love the dew particle
    A little bit more.

    The dew particle cries out,
    There is no harm in that-
    By spreading the softness of the morning,
    I vanish in such fascination.

    The sun said later,
    For you I may be very small-
    But try to shine all day long,
    Oh, how happy!
    I remain vigilant.

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (8/10)

    (Continued from 7/10)

    Gilbert, as per his age
    he was brilliant-
    in spite of reading
    fairy tales or children rhymes
    he used to read
    novels or research publications
    on the deep revelation of life,
    philosophy of life,
    cause of the humanity in this space.

    Ms. Andy, the town library librarian
    was so kind to him,
    used to lend him all those books
    with the condition that
    he would return them
    without any mark or sketch-
    thus, he read almost all
    the collections on human nature
    that were available in the library.

    His mother was never
    become angry
    and was proud of his wisdom.

    This wisdom helped him
    to make wise dialogues
    with the spiritual ghost,
    though the spiritual ghost
    knew them before hand.

    Burning

    The woman wearing the veil walks away
    Gaze the evening star
    Her face is full of smiles
    Being elated within the heart.

    In the room by lighting the evening lamp
    Covered with hem
    Look woke up trembling
    However, the hand is extended.

    What a thin line on the silent face
    Nobody understood
    The affection for the house is moaning
    Such a burning wave.

    affection for home.)

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (7/10)

    (Continued from 6/10)

    The forest was so dense,
    he could not recognize
    whether it is day or night-
    but, suddenly he realized that
    some kind of bright light is
    emitting from the lucky charm
    which was hanging from his neck,
    so that he could see the front clearly.

    Gilbert never realize
    how many sun sets and rises
    in between, but
    he never stopped-
    as if some unknown power
    is giving his all the strengths.

    That bright light lets his way
    towards the darkest corner
    of the forest,
    where the spiritual ghost lives-
    “no one is allowed to pass by
    this portion of the forest…”,
    he heard a heavy voice,
    as if talking over his shoulder.

    He mumbles, shivered in fear,
    but kept himself cool,
    rigid, confident-
    he asked, ….(something in whisper…),

    Sunshine and shade

    The sun and the shade are playing
    Seems, it's going to be a good day.

    The thick cloud enclave the sky
    The earth wants the sun again.

    Look like it is raining
    But, where is it lost?

    Reckon, what is the message from the rainy season
    It does not have any work for two months.

    Nature is making fun
    The environment is being fried.

    Rain somewhere, drought somewhere
    That's how days on the planet goes.

    I wanted to walk

    I wanted to walk a little,
    With the scent of the gentle breeze of the morning full of life-
    But could not walk, due to the thorns of the path.

    I wanted to take a short walk, at the crack of dawn-
    The morning prayer ends -
    Whenever the dew did not fall from the grass,
    The fireflies in the bamboo grove are just trying to sleep.

    In the lukewarm water of the side of the paved pond
    Even though no one came to wash their feet, which is still covered with fog,
    The reed branch in the middle of the pond is throbbing
    Shaking with the water, there is still no sign of the butterfly
    The red grasshopper did not come and sit.

    Sitting on a branch of a tree, the two baby birds sit under the mother's wings
    Stretching their bodies
    The sun painted by red is still there
    They did not fall on their wings.

    When Gilbert reaches
    the other side of the flying river
    (as if the water was not flowing
    But, remained still and seem
    the boat was not floating on it
    but flying),
    while stepping down,
    he asked the one eyed helmsman,
    “how do I go back to my
    home?”

    The helmsman replied
    in his usual voice,
    “time travels fast,
    thus the whispers of the forest,
    I will know what to do next.”

    Thus he took farewell and
    approaches the dark forest-
    unknown birds chirping,
    wild wind was blowing,
    coyotes were howling from the distant
    even during the day
    (because inside the dark forest,
    it is so dark and it seems
    always night).

    He was afraid, but not that much
    afraid, when his sisters face
    was flashing before his eyes-
    thus he took bold steps to

    The sun has risen in the eastern sky
    The beginning of a novel day
    The world is colored by the light of dawn
    Decorated branches are young, yet.

    Gestures to walk on the path again
    On the blue horizon
    Consciousness begins anew today
    On the border of life, again.

    Why?

    Shadows,
    Depending on the reflection of light-
    Sometimes small,
    Sometimes oblong,
    Sometimes get lost in the dark again.

    Compassion,
    Bridge among hearts-
    Yet sometimes gets manipulated,
    And most of the time, forgotten.

    Corpus,
    Is constantly running-
    In the face of decay,
    Fatigue, exhaustion, depression built on it.

    Companion,
    She is the incarnation of love-
    But why gets lost,
    In which subconscious?
    Covered with an untouched wrap.

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (5/10)

    (Continued from 4/10)

    The wicked witch
    by looking at the future glass
    shut down her eyes
    with much explanations
    and whisper into his ears
    silently-
    she says, “It is ultimate danger
    to cross the river
    and the dark forest
    to reach the spiritual ghost.
    but, I will give you
    this lucky charm. You keep it
    on your neck
    and all the evils will be
    frightened of you.”

    Choosing a shiny day
    he started his journey
    towards the dark forest
    by taking a very few things
    those were necessary he thought arrived.

    He arrived at the riverside
    to cross,
    an one eyed helmsman was there,
    as if he was waiting for Gilbert-
    the one eyed helmsman said
    in a very dull but deep voice,

    “I don't take impure souls to cross
    the river and since you are a pure soul
    I will take you to the ot...

    Faith

    I have been saying to faith ever since-
    What are you suffering from?
    In which subconscious fence you have obsessed yourself!
    You have been there since time immemorial.
    Your path is not visible,
    Your journey remained unfinished.

    He answered very politely-
    I have wasted time and time again,
    What an unforgettable current I have flowed in a weary way
    Flowing through the eternity-
    But the real sailor's hand did not fall on my shoulder
    So that I could reach that goal easily.

    The past

    Flashing back, flashing back-
    Whom to whisper in the eternal dark night!
    The past!

    It is a spy, there is no judgement,
    In the subconsciousness, in secret,
    However, paddling the life.
    Kept everything arranged within the dispersed mind,
    How many days of savings are there-
    Remain awakened in affection and devotion,
    The fusion of any consciousness.
    Motionless past !!

    You are very secretive,
    Work in strict secret.
    Laziness, sad days-
    The current flows endlessly,
    Disappointed on the way to the storm,

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (4/10)

    (Continued from 3/10)

    Gilbert used to sit
    alone and grieve-
    none could understand
    or feel his grievances,
    nor his friends,
    nor his father
    (his stepfather),
    nor any neighbors,
    perhaps, his mother
    could realize a bit,
    but, she could do nothing.

    One day he asked
    his mother,
    “where people go after death?”
    his mother could not
    able to give a simple answer,
    rather, she said,
    “all souls go to a special place
    where they like the most.”

    From the childhood
    he heard a fable of a spiritual ghost
    who lived inside the dark forest
    and could defy the death
    by bringing back those lost souls.

    No one knows where he lives
    except inside the remote forest,
    but, a wicked witch who lives
    at the very end of the village
    has some idea,
    she sells to the one

    Full of light all around,
    With the suffix of developed consciousness
    Extending to forward in correct way.

    The new sun has risen in the sky
    Be full of liveliness.

    Everlasting color without ties

    Awakening of the desire to wake up
    Let's play the drum of life.

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (3/10)

    (Continued from 2/10)

    While the days are passing
    Gilbert was becoming
    more sad and sad
    because his only sister
    (younger than four years)
    was gradually dying
    because of scarlet fever.

    All the doctors of the
    township came,
    all the medicine men came,
    they even went to
    the next big town
    for her treatment,
    but, nothing was working
    and day by day
    her health was deteriorating.

    One day came,
    she did not wake up,
    and Gilbert was the first person
    to observe this-
    he yield, “Mother,
    sister is not waking up!”

    Entire community came,
    they used to love her very much
    because of her politeness and beauty-
    they came all together
    they mourn all together
    they sympathized all together
    and left,
    while Gilbert was
    standing alone, with her
    motionless body.

    The watchman

    The guard silently standing at the front door
    As if someone there incorporeal.

    Who makes the arrival and the departure
    He keeps an eye on everything and everyone.

    Dedicated to the protection of the master
    Fully attentive with everything of the heart.

    Respect and devotion remain in the privacy of the mind
    Not addicted to anything else.

    Meanwhile, his own housewife is alone at home
    She suffers from loneliness.

    This is how his routine life goes on
    Engaged in the care of others till the end of his life.

    But, the most important
    thing in this fable
    is that he also
    could see many other ghosts
    gathering and standing
    behind those mourning people.

    He also could recognize
    many of those ghosts
    as they were familiar to him.

    Though he could see
    those ghosts,
    but could not hear
    what they used to
    whisper among themselves.

    He never told this story
    to his mother
    (his father died when
    he was a little child,
    so he does not have any
    memory of his father),
    his younger sister
    (whom he used to love the most),
    his classmates,
    or, any neighbors.

    Little birdy

    Hanging on the leaves of the Barringtonia acutangula,
    There are a few dewdrops-
    To the little birdy that is, the huge Indus.

    Drizzling on the lips, those drops of water-
    Carrying in the beak, exhaled in joy,
    No more worry.

    His joys strengthened further, and he said,
    My mother is standing next to me, so why should I think-
    After tasting with full of heart, will look into the other branches.

    Time (2)

    Is time being determined by the watches?
    This is another wonder of this universe!
    In the field of theory it is a physical quantity,
    Which is measurable-
    But I say, that's relative.
    In the evolution of each planet, human is incapable of measuring it.

    The shortest time taken - euctoseconds -
    And then zeptoseconds, and so on
    The largest exosecond, or cosmological decade,
    However, can timing be determined overall?

    This planet is here from the birth of the universe to the eternity
    (though on one knows for sure).
    Some moments, some periods, some days, some years,
    Some eras, some centuries, some millennia-
    It all depends on each other;

    Time!
    The bridge is limitless,
    Don't depend on anything-
    Flows from time immemorial,
    Clear, smooth, infallible.

    Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (1/10)

    Gilbert used to go
    to his school, everyday
    through a brick paved road,
    just penetrating the old cemetery.

    While he passed
    he usually saw
    peoples’ funerals
    heard from the distant,
    the preacher’s mourning speech,
    “..... For dust you are,
     and to dust, you shall return.”

    Sometimes,
    he used to ride
    on a bicycle,
    or sometimes
    he used to just walk
    and cross the cemetery road.

    Most of the time
    he could recognize
    those mourning people
    as they were his neighbors
    and he knows all of them.

    Conscience

    Here raises the curtain
    Sitting there the Emperor, Queen and Princess,
    Friends-foes, slave, slave-maid
    All engaged in self-acting,
    busy-all;

    Successful with the perfect performance.
    Someone gives a loud dialogue-
    Someone sings in a melodious tune-
    Someone dances or serves in an irritating manner,
    Bravo! Bravo!!

    Applause erupted around the stage-
    Thrilling atmosphere arouses around,
    In the loudness of the drum,
    sometimes the dialogues do not reach the eardrums
    Yet the play continues,
    Time passes happily, merrily;

    Suddenly noticed!
    There! There is the conscience!
    In the remote corner of the crowded stage;

    Somehow leaning on one foot, dejected-
    The role he played was-
    Not being performed perfectly
    And without everyone's knowledge,
    He always left behind the public eye!

    The carousel

    Riding on the merry-go-round
    See how it hangs over and over.

    Life is just like that
    As one can see from there.

    Sometimes it goes up
    Sometimes it goes down,
    Full of thoughtless thoughts
    Cannot leave them behind.

    Someone smiles with happiness
    Someone is crying and feeling sad,
    Someone just crawls along
    With the chest full of pain.

    That's how it goes in this earth
    In the game of breaking and making,
    Someone finds, someone loses
    At the every day fair.

    Does not shine
    But floats in the air.

    Suspended above the sky-

    But not too far
    Not above the seventh sphere.

    Limits the visibility-
    One can feel it
    One can visualize it.
    But no one can touch it!

    The silent disciple (Part-5/5)

    On a moonless night
    the silent disciple
    and the dedicated monk
    with the help of those good fairies
    and the jungle goddess
    built an enormous trap
    inside the dark forest
    so that the monster
    could not escape in no way.

    All heart trembles
    wind stopped flowing
    there was no moon, of course
    shivering frightfulness was surrounding everywhere
    (with the help of the wicked witch
    the monster approached the trap).

    No one can explain, what happened then-
    as there was no light
    no one could witness
    the ultimate roar of the monster.

    Sadly, the dedicated monk
    sacrificed his life to prevail
    the humanity
    and hence forth
    the silent disciple become victorious.

    Birds of the dawn

    Birds of the dawn, birds of the dawn
    Why are you shouting so loudly-
    Before the dawn
    How do I keep awake.

    It's not the dawn yet
    Birds are asleep in their nest-
    The dried leaves float in the air
    That's what I am observing.

    Birds will wake up at first
    In the fire of the eastern arch-
    Polens will smile with flowers
    Painting them silently.

    Terrain getting a glimpse of light
    The little birdy will sing-
    Holding the tail up
    Will sing along.

    The silent disciple (Part-4/5)

    On his way towards the
    black mountain
    where the monster took shelter
    he met another dedicated monk
    whom he accompanied to
    reach his destination.

    By the way
    the silent disciple feels
    inside his heart that
    the dedicated monk is very near to his heart
    (in fact both were brothers in
    their early lives and the blood bond
    to them together again),
    and they decided to fulfill their destiny.

    The dedicated monk
    in one of his early life
    has done many sinful walks
    and he has also taken a solemn vow
    to destroy any obstruction to humankind.

    Hence, both of them
    took another new vow
    to kill the monster
    so that the humanity prevail
    in this universe;

    Unfolding

    At the door of consciousness, whom am I looking for
    In the pro-founded window
    Lament, just remorse
    In a veiled conversation with the heart.

    Where does it came from, cannot bear the delay
    Though a faint candle burning
    Surrounded by illusion, inside my heart
    Like a momentary puzzle.

    Silence for a moment, sere thoughtless
    Perhaps not visible yet
    In the throng of thoughts, back to the astounding affairs
    Struggle with fidgetiness to keep afloat, in the muddy water.

    Depressed farmer

    The farmer in the field goes on foot
    Sweating while ploughing
    Harvested with much difficulties
    But does not get the real price for his rice.

    If he does not pay the loan installments
    What will happen next?
    The rice will go, the stove will go
    Someone thought about it!

    (Many marginal farmers are being affected by this circle.)

    The silent disciple (Part-3/5)

    On a moonlight night
    the silent disciple started
    his journey to slay the monster
    (all the good fairies helped him,
    except a wicked witch).

    He was carrying a magic sword
    with which he should penetrate
    the heart of the monster to kill,
    but the wicked witch stole it
    from him by turning into a
    male thief while
    the silent disciple was sleeping.

    All those good fairies observed it
    but they couldn’t stop
    the stealing (though at the later stage
    they recovered it
    and gave it to the silent disciple).

    He crossed mountains,
    he travels through dense forests,
    his swam through lakes, rivers,
    he walked across dry desserts,
    he sailed across oceans,
    and finally reached
    at the place
    where the cursed monster
    took shelter.

    Extreme poor

    Soaked rice vanishes before bringing salt
    What about them again!
    They cried throughout their entire life
    Remain with sad bowing.

    Wherever they glimpse
    Just looking dry
    Nothing close to hand
    Miserable earth.

    Life is for them
    A large deep forest
    But somehow walking
    With broken mind.

    If they step in the middle of the path
    Sadness filled the air
    There is nothing to collect, nothing remains
    The house is always empty.

    No morale there, yet they
    Still remain active in working
    How to get rid of stomach irritation
    Sitting to think.

    That's how life goes on
    With them somehow
    There is nothing new
    On the way to the existence.

    The silent disciple (Part-2/5)

    On the other side of the world
    in a rocky mountain
    raised by a devoted monk
    a silent disciple
    (who took oath to remain
    silent during the rest of his life)
    took another oath
    to kill the monster
    and it was the last order
    from his guru during his last breath.

    The monster happened to
    keep his name by killing
    both of his parents
    on his seventeenth birth year
    on a moonless dark night
    and took the solemn vow
    to destroy the mankind.

    Observing this cruel incident
    the jungle goddess gave a curse
    to the monster that
    he would be killed mercilessly
    by a silent disciple
    and his dissatisfied soul
    will remain hanging
    on the shoulder of the eternity.

    The silent disciple  (Part-1/5)

    Once upon a time 
    a beautiful virgin 
    (she was the princess 
    of an unknown land) 
    met a nameless thief 
    in the dark forest 
    of a solitude island.

    The virgin was left abandoned 
    by her own mother 
    (she used to be the queen 
    of that unknown land) 
    who was envied of her solemn beauty;
     
    The thief swam to that island 
    after being chased by 
    the fleet guards of a floating sheep 
    where he was kept stealing 
    (their fates allowed them to meet).

    On a moonless night 
    both the bodies become one 
    though their souls remain a part 
    and eventually they gave birth 
    to a male child 
    (who turned out to be a monster)
    on the peak of the red moon.

    Mom

    Mother, you are the shadow a big tree in my life

    Unfed

    Who came with a grimy face and stood at the door
    Skeletal body
    A gloomy look, in a faint voice
    No one knows, what she would like to say.

    It seems
    For how long she has been in starvation
    Due to lack of money
    She did not get the proper food, to keep her fit.

    However, everyone is busy
    Who will extend a helping hand-
    That's how she spends her days
    The same morning comes after a sleepless night.

    Storm forecast

    The message came in the forecast room
    a big storm is approaching,
    A gust of wind can blow
    with a glimpse of torrential rain.

    Can happen anywhere with
    tremendous thunderstorms,
    It can hit the sea shore
    with huge tidal shock.

    Going out on such a day
    will not be safe at all,
    There are dangers in every steps
    with the chance of the loss of life.

    Oh, field farmer, helmsman at the quay
    be careful,
    Before the danger strikes
    prepare yourself.

    After the storm subsided
    get out again
    How are all the neighbors
    get their welfare.

    Need to face these dangers all together
    and you have to win,
    All say, “ten sticks is the burden for one”
    keeping that in mind, work altogether.

    Day laborer

    Spade, basket in hand
    They sit on the sidewalk.
    Work if someone calls
    Then there will be cooking at home that day.

    Helper, Earth cutter, Stone crusher, Mason
    There is no descent work.

    The work that gets in hand, performs all day long
    Throughout the morning till evening.

    In this way, year after year, their family goes on
    Working by their hands, talking about life.

    They come from from far away villages
    Hoping for a little work in town-
    Maybe there was a piece of land
    But there is none, due to the flood.

    In statistics, they are floating crowds
    No one takes any account on them
    Does anyone know, what they are talking about?

    great expectation to lead a better, however, there lives
    do not improve much!)

    Summer heatstroke

    In the heat of summer,
    The cuckoo sits on the branch and calls-
    "Eyes gone", "Eyes gone"
    In this heat, life is terrifying-
    Realizing this, the wayfarer decided to leave home.

    How the branches of the tree are stunted-
    There is no wind,
    Lazily, the shepherd gave the body to relax,
    In the shade of a tree, holding his flute-
    This summer, the scene seems to be chirping.

    Couldn't bear the heatstroke, though
    The beggar is returning door to door-
    The bored bard seeks to find peace in cloudless sky
    Lean body, walking on the edge of an unknown village.

    Dry day lean on the lap of evening
    Forget the weariness in the touch of late night dream.

    as sung by Cuckoo.)

    Gust of wind

    Gust of wind returns crying-
    on the banks of the Gomati and Mahananda
    In this heat of summer-
    pedestrian lost his sense,
    looking steadfastly towards the open sky.

    No air is circulating somewhere else,
    which will provide
    a little bit of relief,
    The octogenarian female  beggar
    still turning from door to door-
    with convex shoulder, obese body.

    Exhale with sigh
    oarsman of the boat docks in on the shore-
    because, to cross to the other side,
    no one is waiting on the quay.

    The earth is caught in a pause
    Will the drought be last much longer?

    (The Gomati River is a tributary of the Ganges,
    The Mahananda River is a trans-boundary river
    that flows through the Indian states of Bihar,
    West Bengal and Bangladesh.)

    Bored bard

    The bored bard sings on the way
    Across the bents of many unknown villages
    On the bucolic path full of memories
    Where cries and laughs are hidden.

    There is no time to stop
    The moments passes by the wind
    Bard in his melodious tune
    Sings about what is hidden in his heart.

    The series of the mathematical table-book
    Cannot be forgotten anymore
    That's how the sweet melody of his
    Remains in the middle of the heart.

    His life was spent by singing
    By the river side of this worldly affairs
    That's why always with anxious eyes
    Looks back again and again.

    (This poem is dedicated to those lone singers,
    called Baul (bard) in Bengal and the society have forgotten them.)

    Rajakini Randha

    Rajakini Randha is roaming alone
    With her soft feet in silence-
    Flowers are blooming in the garden
    Gave chrysanthemum pendants in the ears.

    Wearing a necklace of kanakachampa flowers around his neck
    Red variety of oleander's bracelet is in her hand-
    A bunch of Quisqualis indica is hanging in the hair
    A swarm of golden jasmine is tied around the waist.

    Inserted cypress vine in her coiffure
    The fringe is full of mirabilis jalapa-
    Yellow bells flowers are wrapped around her legs
    Where does she go with her timid timid feet!

    some of the beautiful flowers of the Greater Bengal.)

    Lake of the heart

    Thought-consciousness is aroused in the lake of the heart
    Fragile hopes are thrown into the abyss of pain.

    The thirsty mind plays with my nightmares
    Sitting on the shore of this life even after prolonged swimming.

    I light the extinguished lamp with the afflicted face
    Memories covered in darkness are the random boundaries.

    Yet I sing with hope, the triumph of life
    Did not see the way forward, though hear the melodious tune.

    Aspirations applauded in the middle of the heart.

    Protest, to find the proper justice.

    Just by sitting, the moment cannot be crossed

    Early rain

    The branches are expanded with the green leaf
    As a result of the advance rain
    The heated surface has become cold
    Because of the early drizzle.

    Joined to come at an inopportune time
    The hail storm
    Lightning raises fears among farmers
    The tin made rooftop is shaky in the wind.

    The mango branch is shaking
    The pods are falling prematurely
    In this imbalance of the environment
    What's in the fortune!

    It is swaying in the swing of hope
    For peasants and their wives
    Although in advance crop damage
    Giving a sign of danger.

    Still, let it rain
    Fill the nature vividly
    Let the planet be greener
    Green fill up all around.

    Contaminated with speed imbalance.

    Not with any beginning, not with any end
    There is no feeling or affection.

    Life!
    That is implicit in the shadow of indirect imperfections
    Falling into the rage of unwanted thoughtlessness
    Inactively exists.

    The result is never good in abundant illicit wealth.

    Objects that are matched with great faith, so find them step by step.

    Now it is the time to go home
    Because the sun is going down.

    You sing the song of life
    No matter how rainy it is, how stormy
    No matter whether there is the flood.

    When you row the boat
    However, the days are all gone
    And you cannot say about them.

    Hearing of indifferent cries
    On the shores of consciousness, just roaming around
    Don't know who is who.

    Whose heart are you tied to?
    As neat as it is, as tight as it is
    The desire just moves away.

    Seeking for the drip
    On the way it was late, just manipulation
    Darkness enclave.

    Which is not understandable
    Imaginary happiness, crying chest

    And, it feels enormous.

    At the moment of Fagun

    Cuckoo sings on the branch in tunes, are filled with southern bay
    Eager to look to the sky, whatever one wants.

    Sitting on the bank of a calm lake, the bard in a bored way
    After leaving this village, which way will he go?

    Woke up in the shining morning, the early sun
    Gently opens the eyes, a nocturnal in the forest.

    Slowly slowly flows the river, towards the sea
    It is going on indefinitely, till it reaches the destination.

    Coming and going of magpie, running all over the field
    On the dew-drenched grass, the village farmer walks.

    Caesalpinia pulcherrima spreads its color, at the moment of Fagun
    The sweet fragrance of Amrapali, filled the entire forest.

    The little girl woke up, with a smile on her face
    I love the face, that is full of affection.

    All boxes and packets are made and tied
    The husband is sitting eagerly

    And hand-picked butter
    Dried mango, balls made of molasses
    We gave along.

    Big Lemon, star apple
    And curd made in the house
    Dried molasses, flattened rice, fried rice
    Parched paddy from Binni rice.

    Pointed gourd, eggplant, pumpkin
    And Rohu Carp caught in the net
    There are more left…
    Where should we put them!

    give so many things with her.)

    Filled fagun, a downpour
    The air is clear, clear as a crystal
    What a wonderful creation.

    Swallow, Cuculidae are soaking wet
    Calling out "crystal clear water!"
    The sun is covered behind the clouds
    The ground becomes cold.

    Rain water is pouring in the field
    Falling on the tin roof
    Awakes life in the rive

    Sea, hills, forest
    Blooming Shimul, Palash, Bakul
    The earth is full of softness.

    Life (2)

    In the realm of life, it is difficult to understand, what is wrong, or what is right
    Seems, there is no justice here, everything is controlled by the might.

    The one, who has the power, greed for more superiority
    Little cares about the rule, law, or the authority.

    Whatever comes at the front, wants to grab, for his own
    Nothing comes in between, a child, a youth, or a grown.

    Profoundly reluctant to the path, yet need to be a pedestrian
    Nobody knows, what will happen next, as an invisible custodian.

    The mirror of consciousness

    Seeing the sadness, the happiness go in seclusion
    In the throes of life, in a cowardly manner, escape towards the back.

    Who understands who’s pain, everything is in vain
    However, encouraged by the moment, walk towards the facade.

    Time-obsessed activities, put in the heart’s confinement
    Chest torn in the convergence of consciousness, how to summon someone.

    Who knows why the intention is not fulfilled, alas in this world
    Whoever remains at very near, just goes away, goes away.

    It is like surrendering to the life without any utterance
    Deep in the heart surrounded by illusion, upholding the mirror of consciousness.

    Lonely shepherd

    The lonely shepherd, sitting on the mountain top, plays his flute
    He sees around the meadows, across the hills, and remains glut.

    Nobody understands, what is the meaning of his melancholic song
    Nobody realizes, in his tiny life, what went wrong.

    When he looks through the blue sky, he bestows his life
    Everything passes in a whisper, like a rife.

    With nimble sadness and sigh, he looks around
    There is no sign of life nearby, only silences surround.

    when I put myself in the position of the lonely shepherd.)

    Southern wind

    Southern wind, Southern wind
    Take me with you
    I want to go
    At the bend of that village
    Where my heart has fallen.

    I fell in love with
    the golden paddy field
    I fell in love with
    the pond side surrounded by water lilies
    I fell in love with
    the moonlight wet playground
    I fell in love with
    the colorful village market.

    When the sun goes down
    Grandmothers start their stories
    Fireflies burn in the bamboo garden
    The jute field yields gold
    Seeing this beautiful panorama
    My heart exhaled.

    Southern wind, Southern wind
    Take me with you
    I want to go
    At the bend of that village
    Where my heart has fallen.

    Para encontrar o caminho (Portuguese)

    Achando esse tempo, aquele tempo, para sempre
    Corpo e mente estão cansados
    Parece que é inútil descobrir
    E o tempo é reduzido.

    Pensamentos sem pensamentos
    Quando é monção, quando está seca
    Em tal crise
    O caminho está cheio de valas.

    Dessa forma, não mais
    tem algum fim
    Então, para encontrar o caminho
    O que restou.

    The society

    "The pen is mightier than the sword", said Edward Bulwer-Lytton
    He could not realize, what will happen to that meaning, while life goes on.

    In the current society, nobody respects each other
    They do not understand, what is the sense of living together.

    Only the powerful are becoming the controller of the society
    They think, they have become the deity.

    There is a vast difference between the rich and the poor
    When someone asks for help, they just shut the door.

    What will happen to this, no one knows, where is the end
    It is difficult to predict, where will reach this trend.

    Down the memory lane,

    Fagun's moment

    Swing that takes in the breeze
    The south window is open.

    They twinkle stars are still in the sky
    So the mind is unbound today.

    The attention was filled with random thoughts
    Unfamiliar world with absent minded gestures.

    With the south wind blowing the boat’s sail
    Fagun has now reddened the occasion.

    The game of light and darkness are going on
    This is how the whole day passes by.

    The light of knowledge

    We came alone, we will go alone
    Keep that in mind
    It will not come to work
    Whatever we have so many friends and relatives.

    On the way to come, on the way to go
    All the work that we have done
    Everything has to be accounted for
    Understand that today.

    This word in the mind
    It's better to keep
    On the way of path of coming and going
    Let us ignite the light of knowledge.

    Cinderella

    The king's son looked around
    Going from village to village
    With one shoe in his hand.

    This shoe would be a perfect fit on the foot
    Of the one
    The king's son will make the life partner
    With her.

    How long has it been like this?
    The soldiers all turned around in groups
    Find the shoe owner
    No more
    The king's son's mind becomes a burden.

    Yet he does not give up
    One day he will find her this way.

    Suddenly one day he went to a village home
    The girl was found by the king's son
    Her name is Cinderella
    She is beautiful to look at, her beauty repeats by all mouths
    She showed the other shoe from the pair.

    Everyone in the state said Hurrah, this girl is genuine
    Parades across the state
    They got married.

    If it is written in the destiny
    No one else can snatch it.

    Query?

    Marked in diameter and radius, the identity of the circle
    Short-lived bubbles merge, the decay of receipt.

    The enigma covered by the riddle is the path of life
    Movement with wide open heart, but the desire fails.

    Fallen hope in the long run, I think it is the oasis
    Chest filled with a momentary happiness and hesitation, what a salvation.

    Going to reach the desired goal, I see an asphodel
    In the midst of shattered success, seems some hidden curse.

    For free

    The sun only rises for free.

    The moon is indebted to the sun
    because it does not have its own light
    so it does not rises for free.

    The sea depends on the moon
    and thus its ebbs and tides
    so it is also not for free.

    The waterfall depends on the earth's pattern
    and it needs the mountain to fall
    so it is not a free fall.

    But, if we desire
    the pure love
    it can always be free.

    Life

    When did I hear the trumpet of life, from gaining knowledge and wisdom
    However, death horns can be heard, anytime
    And we have to depart, leaving everything in this world.

    Life is a moving train, doesn't know how to stop
    On the way there is never a moment's delay, and obey only its own law.

    Its movement is only towards the front, doesn't know how to look back
    It never kept the track of who came and who went.

    In this way, on the way of life, we have to cross barely
    It moves on at its own pace, no hurry.

    Good morning

    Divine thoughts tremble, in the window of my heart
    Blossoms spreads fragrance, in the gentle breeze of dawn.

    In preparation for the goal, the wind blows on the sail
    Standing firm on boat's neck, just moving forward.

    Every moment of thought, lets call that back
    Memories are almost lost, let them stay behind.

    I heard the arrival of that good day, with a new consciousness in my heart
    Stepping forward on the way back again, erasing all the pain.

    However, they are out of reach all the time
    When all such intellects are join together, then there is nothing to be done.

    Unvergessliche Erinnerungen
    Zu den Leuten.

    Dies ist ein Festivaltag
    Dies ist ein glücklicher Tag
    Dies ist ein Tag des Fühlens.

    Melody

    Heart’s harp harness from wire to wire
    The tunes will remain fallen on the path
    On the banks of the calm river
    The tunes will remain fallen.

    At this fair of laughter and criers
    Life goes on in like a sport.

    Sun-shadow on this day
    Do not know the way back.

    In this case, seek and try
    Though times pass by
    The songs will remain fallen.

    Bored in the Autumn breeze
    The songs will remain on the path
    Mixed with deep sensation.

    Toujours (French)

    Quand le temps est illimité
    Quand le chemin est immobile
    La vie est alors stagnante
    Ensuite, la marche continue.

    Quand la réponse à la question est inexpressive
    Quand la destination est sans but
    La réalisation est alors absente
    Alors les rêves sont en jeu.

    The Radhika

    Radhika,
    Dance, fulfill the heart, joyful youthful mind
    In the dance, the songs are sung, the time passes by.

    Leads to night, audience, pleased all
    Mixed rhythms, trembling erosion, and there is no difference between real and false.

    Eye’s expectation, no trench, even there is doubt
    In the attraction of desire, in the perspire, someone is reckless.

    What she should do, so eventually, lets go of that
    Deceptively better, bitter in sight, they are either baseless.

    Doing so, taking time, passes her overnight
    Gastrointestinal irritation, locking in the heart, opening the eyes finds the same morning.

    (Dedicated to all the female stars of the local stage drama, called Jatra in the Greater Bengal.)

    Viajante do deserto (Portuguese)

    Em um canto da vida da ignorância
    Roaming por um tempo curto
    A dor de conseguir ou não conseguir
    Está cheio de mente deprimida.

    Com que esperança construiu a casa
    Ninguém lá perto ou longe
    Pelo que a mente está esperando
    Ninguém está lá por conta própria.

    Todos são desconhecidos na extensão da vastidão
    Viajante do deserto
    A sensação de não chegar a lugar algum.

    All of a sudden

    Have you seen how crows row a boat?
    Sitting on the corner, and the bull fell on the head!

    Have you seen cockroach flying in the sky?
    Fire-fly stops light in the night air!

    Have you heard what song sings the female fox?
    Entellus is taking bath in a pond surrounded by stairs!

    Have you heard that sitting squirrel eating timber?
    Hornets chasing everyone to the entire field!

    Wonder what will happen with the hog-plum wood?
    Everyone else on the field is a fake, but the bull!

    Which picture you draw will be colorless?
    And me! Cannot write anything, but became a poet!

    A poor soul

    A poor soul, asked the eternity-
    Can you tell me,
    Where is my destiny?

    The eternity jingled, mingled
    Laughed, puffed
    And said, why should I tell you,
    In comparison to me
    You are so tiny!

    The poor soul, finding the response
    Cried a lot, but silently
    And asked thyself
    For an appropriate answer-

    Later on realized
    The cruelty of fate,
    And, thereafter
    Remained silent forever.

    Lost my mind

    I lost my mind
    In the vast field of green village
    I lost my mind
    At the river side of Shimultali quay.

    I lost my mind
    In the colored flowers of Caesalpinia pulcherrima
    I lost my mind
    At the canal of Matamuhuri.

    I lost my mind
    At the village market of Rangunia
    I lost my mind
    At the stalk of blossomed Lotus.

    I lost my mind
    By the tune of the lonely shephard
    I lost my mind
    By the silent song of the Jamuna river.

    Note: Bengali name of Caesalpinia pulcherrima is Krishnachura.
    Here some renowned places of Bangladesh have been cited.

    Traveler (3)

    Traveler missing the target
    Turns out just gazing in the middle of the path
    The frustration of not being able to find
    Feel dreadful in the corner of the heart.

    Looking for a insinuation of light
    If seen anywhere
    The whole time devotes on the way
    So he rushes and rushes.

    Someday, it will end
    When and where no one knows, though
    Absolutely maybe going to end, somewhere
    That may be the last stoppage.

    Find out

    Who summoned me
    With that word of aspiration,
    Looking for her
    In this diminutive range-
    I don't remember though
    Her face.

    Still walking in hope
    As if absolutely motionless,
    Which has no end
    Just think so always-
    Will I be able to see her again
    Someday, someday...

    New consciousness

    When there is between desire and attainment
    A huge gap,
    Then the heart will be stained
    And, in the pain of not reconciling the accounts
    There must be tears in the heart.

    However, in the direction of the light of the new day
    The fresh journey begins
    In the heart, with new consciousness
    Let the drum sound high and high.

    Children

    The child comes to enlighten the house
    Happiness is everywhere
    Every heart of the house is touched
    Every soul plays happily.

    A child brings an immense aspiration to all.

    Guide of light (2)

    Waking up in the middle of the night
    Who goes to the front
    Illuminates the path
    By sleep awakening song.

    Becoming the guide of light
    Continue to walk
    Filled with hope
    Overwhelmed the lonely heart.

    This is a vast thrill
    It feels like eternity
    That is a heart-wrenching tune
    A sleep awakening song.

    Direction of light

    Walking on the path in the dark
    The path is not known yet
    But, the heart remains open
    Finding the direction of light,
    Thoughts pull back
    The trajectory goes elsewhere
    Still, let's go on firm foot
    Even it is not understood properly.

    The path is no longer recognizable
    Everything seems unfamiliar
    Even if the path turns somewhere else
    I agree to continue,
    When will this darkness end?
    I hope to see the light, however
    The path must be crossed
    Betting on my life.

    Winter morning

    Water lily in the water of the small canal
    There are snails, oysters in the mud

    Little waterhen widen his mouth
    Mother is giving food

    Hoppers are flying around
    Gavial comes out of the hole

    Small fishes play again
    In the water of intensive black canal

    Chill is playing in the air
    Time passes like this.

    Songs of life

    Village wives are singing, while husking the rice
    The helmsmen are singing, while rowing the boat
    The farmers are singing, while cutting the paddy
    The fishermen are singing, while fishing at the river
    The birds are singing, while the morning sun rises
    Honey combs are singing, while collecting the nectar
    Village girls are singing, while collecting the flower
    The children are singing, while swimming in the pond...

    Those songs enchanted the mind, and
    Make inspired.

    Words

    By you, by me
    By the sky, by the wind
    By the sound of fallen leaves
    By the shadow of broken dreams
    By the past days, by the infinite future
    By the affection to you
    By the smile of yours;

    Never allow to drop my words on the soil.

    Fallen star

    Such a lonely star is surrounded by many other stars
    Fallen down
    Nothing matters.
    How many birds fly in the sky?
    A bird
    If lost, no one finds that one.

    Like so many stars on earth
    Bursting every year
    Lack of care is falling many stars
    No one is keeping any news.

    If these fallen stars
    It could have been nurtured properly
    The world would have been even more sweet
    No one would be hurt.

    That day will ever come, that
    Those stars won't drop anymore
    If you nurture them before they fall
    No one in the world will be unhappy anymore.

    Message of Agrahayan

    The song of the open land
    My green leafs’ song
    At noon on the river bank
    By the shepherd’s flute
    Life becomes delighted.

    Gallinule called in the morning
    The kids are all playing
    Farmers are chanting
    To pick up newborn rice in the house.

    On the bank of the pond
    The village wife goes there
    In the dawn of light
    It is filled with aroma of grass.

    It's the turn of the day

    The turning of the day came
    No stopping in between times
    The thoughts are random
    Just spread dust on the road.

    A lamp is seen in the front
    What it tells by whispering
    Adds the mantra of moving forward
    Hope awakens in mind.

    Those who are in the back
    Chase on the way.

    A feeling of being-sought-after
    Noises in the heart.

    On the shore of the river (2)

    On the shore of the river
    I'm standing
    When the boat will arrive
    Without the helmsman.

    The boat is mine
    Not visible yet
    Tired by thinking all
    Seeing the lifestyle on earth
    All the past scenes are coming in the mind.

    So, thyself
    Have to row
    The boat
    On the way to towards the front
    Go on your own
    No more fatigue.

    Faith

    When faith and disbelief
    By mixing become homogeneous
    To value the unbelief
    The faith has to accept the defeat.

    Trusting in faith
    Lead the way of life
    At this juncture of life
    How much exaggeration with disbelief?

    The familiar paths vanish in the dark
    In the shadow of disbelief
    Yet, have to follow the path
    By the affection of faith.

    Joyau inestimable (French)

    Sous le fond du four, sous le banc de la pièce, sur les côtés de la maison.
    L'adolescence et la jeunesse ont traversé
    Maintenant la vieillesse est venue.
    Néanmoins, il garda la main dans l'espoir
    Un jour, il retrouvera son précieux bijou perdu.

    The song of life

    The helmsman, the cultivator of the village
    Come everybody come
    Go to the quay, go to the field
    Time flies.

    You have to raise the sail
    We have to join helm to the plow
    River water is surging
    Waves playing in the paddy field.

    Flood is in the river today
    Harvest Binny rice for the next season
    There is no time to sit idle
    Get up by fastening the waist.

    Summon (2)

    Burning the candle light of the heart
    Do not remain sitting over there
    Open the door of the soul
    And go out.

    No matter the boundaries far beyond
    Let the life be full of pain
    Widening on new wings
    Do not get defeated.

    Let the old path remain there
    Build a new one and lead through that path
    Open the door to the courtyard
    And never look back.

    Endeavor

    I drew a curve, do not know when
    But couldn't straighten that anyhow.

    I tried to draw a circle,
    Finding its circumference, the circle was though drawn but could not complete.

    I started painting a face,
    The memory is so deeply lost,
    It does not appear anymore in my mind.

    I wanted to walk on a path,
    The road is so steep,
    So could not find the edge of the lonesome plain.

    Wanted to make a formula,
    But observing the depth of the numerology
    Could not complete the same.

    Suddenly the wind blows and I lost the path,
    Now it's just the turn to play hide and seek with the heart.

    Twilight

    Twilight on this sandy bay
    I wrote down my name.

    Somewhere in the corner of life
    As much pain and sorrow
    I searched for them in silences all the time.

    There are as many turns in the way
    I was shocked to see that
    Waiting goes on
    Don't say a word
    I built all the words in my life with the lonely soul.

    Opened an account
    Forgot the path on which I'm sitting
    On every page of life
    Untold words remain
    Even I was so sitting on this path where passes a person alone.

    That boy of the ferry quay

    At the Ferry quay, he sells green coconuts
    A handsome looking boy
    He didn't listen to anyone
    Used to jump in the moving ferry
    Every time, he has been warned
    By many ferry drivers.

    He didn't know what to fear
    But, one day he fell down
    While the ferry was moving
    Extreme prices have to be paid
    One day
    It was a bit little late.

    The boy falls under the ferry
    Lost his fresh lived life
    Just in a few moments
    All vanished away from eyes.

    Mother cries alone along the riverside
    With pain in the chest.

    A little tranquility

    Finally,
    She sits at the window side,
    Tried to breathe a little peace-
    Keeping aside all the marginal desires
    With a mortgage on time,
    With a long-distance train
    Like running without a whistle,
    Will suddenly stop moving,
    Then take a little rest in that open courtyard-
    From where the mass of the bamboo scaffolding of the fence
    The open sky can be seen.

    Blue sky!

    From dawn to dusk, till the evening light,

    Pushing the kitchen,
    Cleans rust from old windows,
    Gather the reed branches,
    Washes the broth stains from husband's vest,
    Putting the torn button of the elder boy's shirt,
    Sew the sleeve of the little girl's dress ....

    Broken melodies

    Listen to the broken melodies all around
    When the bond was snapped
    The stream of cataclysm came into the chest.

    All the flowers in the garden are laying on the floor
    There is no one to pick them up
    The heart is full of darkness
    Playing there waves of pain.

    Shravana stream falls
    Filled my eyes
    All were washed away in the flash flood
    How do I call someone.

    When the courtyard has been broken
    I could not see anything
    Wandering alone in the empty arena
    I stopped at the edge of the sunset.

    Martyr Day and Mother Language Day

    Crossing one river of blood
    This country has been independent
    In return for the lives of millions of martyrs
    We've got it.

    How many mothers in tears
    The soil becomes wet
    This is my country
    This is purer than gold.

    The people who gave life for this country
    Who gave the breath
    In remembrance of them let us
    sing the victory song.

    (On the occasion of International Mother Language day)

    Waiting

    The one who plays the flute
    I was sitting by opening the window
    He never played the flute.

    With that tune I would like to sing a song
    I thought by the corner of the heart
    Could not sing anymore.

    To draw a picture of someone
    I caught the paint and brush
    Never I could paint.

    That's the way to go
    I went out from the door
    Could not walk on the path anymore.

    To decorate in the bloomed color
    Remained prepared for sometimes
    Never could paint with the mind.

    Knowledge

    Increase the scope of knowledge
    Stand in front with a full-fledged heart.
    Silly never on earth
    Can't be prosperous
    The light of knowledge need to be burn
    Increase consciousness.

    Knowledge will show the way to the end
    There is success in knowledge
    Ignorance pulls backwards
    Brings failure.

    Knowledge can give in today's world
    New self-esteem
    That way you have to forward your steps
    Be wise in knowledge.

    Unsent letter

    Once he met, the ex-girlfriend of a friend
    He used to like her, but could not tell her the truth
    One day while she was dancing with the friend
    (At that time, they did not become ex),
    When she comes near him, he could smell her body
    It is like a beauty soap, or an unknown perfume, or a nameless flower
    So pure, so pleasant, so charming, he cannot describe
    But, the smell remained in his heart for a long time.

    She was so pretty; he thought he could sing a song for her
    One song, two songs, three songs, songs forever
    In fact, if she passes by him, even with his closed eye
    He could tell her presence
    So, to see her for a glance, he remained standing on the way
    She comes and goes.

    One day gone, two days gone, three days gone
    Numerous days gone
    She never passes through this way
    But, for her he left some yellow flowers on the path
    Not all yellow, with a red spot i...

    Kajla girl

    Kajla, the daughter of Kusumpur, has anyone saw her?
    I could not see her anymore, by the Ichhapura's bend.

    She was like a banister, a smile was always on her face
    Repeatedly, it seems, let's look at her.

    Naughty was cute, listened to no one
    That would be the end, it wasn't known.

    To collect the water lily, she went there
    Did not return and come home, everyone looked for her.

    What about that girl, and nobody remembers now
    Hope there will be one day, when I could see the Kajla girl again.

    (In memory of a young girl who went to collect water lily
    and never come back)

    Honesty

    Leave vengeance, slander, abdication
    There is no achievement in harming others.
    Build your life with patience
    Fight against evil and injustice all the time.

    When someone is in danger, raise your hand
    Respect to the elders, do not harm them.
    Receive the happiness that the Lord has given you
    In no way do not break your integrity.

    There will be nothing in the world of short days
    If you do something what is good, they will go behind you.

    The river of life

    What are you doing for hours and hours?
    The movements of life can be measured!
    It is like a river
    Sometimes straight, sometimes bend.

    In the monsoon, the river flows
    By swallowing two sides
    Like the life in full of youth
    The euphoria takes over.

    Such a river as ever-flowing
    Sometimes is ever quiet
    Life is so desperate
    Sometimes become tired.

    Like a river, passing so many ways
    Runs into the sea
    By leaving everything in life
    Have to go to my own home.

    Inundated Padma

    Oh Padma, in this filled month of Vador, what the look are you showing?
    At the break of the wave, you break harder, now what else do you want?

    The wider region disappears into your womb
    Loosing all, those villagers are just looking at you.

    How many homes were lost in the blink of an eye?
    Where to find the oven for cooking, where to find the pot?

    The farmer see the darkness, where to cultivate
    People's hand on the head, where will they live.

    In doing so, do you have any end?
    Everything went under the water, there is no remaining.

    Life is a bird

    This is an outstanding feeling
    On the pages of memory
    Seems all sorted out
    It's like an exchange of nuggets.

    Adolescent-youth
    When has it crossed
    How long is it left
    Walking through the door of memory
    The wrath of words
    Is everything in order?

    Gone yesterday
    Crossed it
    Now let's put it for tomorrow
    When will the life fly away
    Leaving all the delusion
    This is the life of a caged bird.

    Thoughts

    Within the corridor of the heart, trembling with sleep
    The watchman of the Seven Seas is like a light gesture.

    Unrestricted sentiments play out across the mind
    Rareness is spread in the arms of darkness.

    Find here and there so it's back to the speediness again
    The decorated gardens were surrounded by solitude.

    When to lose the wealth of desire to float in water of eyes
    Looking up at the night sky so hoping to get back.

    Early childhood

    My mind remains
    In the water lily floated on the pond side
    My heart remains
    In the rows of the mango field.

    When it rains in the summer
    The team of child jumps in the water
    Climbing up on the tree
    Finding a nest of the bird.

    On a palm tree on a winter day
    Swallowing all the juice
    As evening falls
    Runaway to the village market.

    A childhood memory room
    Chilled inside the mind
    Those are the times
    Still, the memories are inside the heart.

    Guru

    Guru makes three folds on his forehead
    He said to the students:
    "Study the rest for yourself",
    And then
    Slowly he walked towards his room.

    He is great
    His knowledge does not compare to this earth
    Stay serious
    His mild voice could not be easily heard.

    Always stay dedicated
    A wealth of knowledge on how to grow
    He is not a pair in search of knowledge
    Somehow he did not give up, neither he lose courage.

    Being such person’s disciple
    It is the gift of great fortune
    These gurus for ages
    You have made richness a great, famous story.

    (Dedicated to my best Guru, Prof. Nassir Sabah;
    Still I remember his open book and open time questions!)

    The right path

    Seeing the time is the right way
    Have to take the steps
    Otherwise, sooner or later
    It may fall back.

    If the foot falls in the wrong direction
    Once in a lifetime
    Lots of efforts need to be burn
    In getting to the right path.

    Running one mistake from the other
    Will make filthy
    It will not be possible anymore
    To stand up straight.

    That's why I think so
    Go in the right path
    Bring goodness to life
    And, find peace in your heart.

    Lost tune

    There is no tune in the song
    When was it lost?
    The memory nevertheless pursued
    The search is just for that.

    On the way, while walking and talking
    Was the ever-present tune
    In the midst of thinking, in everyday work
    The heart was full.

    By no means unknown, it takes shelter
    I thought that today
    As much effort, I give
    I don't feel like doing anything.

    Lost the tune, endlessly
    That is no longer the end
    Yet around hope, sitting on the shore
    I try to cross over.

    Consequence

    Putting someone’s blame on someone’s neck
    The result cannot be the same
    Luck is what is written
    That's it
    Nothing else can be done.

    For some temporary benefit
    We try to do any work
    Not in the eye we have
    Any shame.

    Anyone who does wrong
    Anyone who accompany him
    Both are in time
    Will be in the conflagration.

    Consciously listening
    It's good to go ahead
    The walk will be straight
    We can see the light on the way.

    Incineration

    The bride wearing the veil walks away
    The evening star peeps
    Her face is full of smiles
    Heart becomes passionate by looking at her.

    In the house by lighting the evening lamp
    Covered with her fringe
    Her bashful and timid glance woke up trembling
    However, the hand is extended.

    What a line on the silent face
    Nobody understood
    She is tired of the illusion of home
    At the same time incineration in the heart.

    I wanted to walk

    I wanted to walk a little,
    With the scent of the gentle breeze of the morning full of life-
    But could not walk, due to the thorns of the path.

    I wanted to walk a little, at that dawn-
    When the morning prayer ends -
    Whenever the dew did not fall on the grass,
    The fireflies in the bamboo grove are just trying to sleep.

    In the lukewarm water of the side of the paved pond
    Even though no one came to wash their feet, which is still covered with fog,
    The reed branch in the middle of the pond is throbbing
    Shaking with the water, there is still no wave
    The red grasshopper did not come and sit.

    Sitting on a branch of a tree, the two baby birds sit under the mother's wings
    Stretched their bodies
    The sun painted by deep red is still there
    They did not fall on their wings.

    The little girl wrapped in mother's lap and asleep,
    Dream aunties are still sleeping fr...

    Autumn morning

    The drizzling wind delights the mind
    Snow white cloud floats in blue sky.
    The white catkin has covered the forest
    Looks like another world.

    Morning of autumn is very charming
    Drives away pains from the heart.
    The martins are playing in the field
    Rows of boat are tied in the quay.

    The boys and girls are going to the school in groups
    The shepherd is running towards the field with the wicker hat on his head.
    Farmers thrive in the field with all the sickles
    The village wife is washing the child, in the pool pond.

    Water lily blossoms in big pond
    Jasminum flumie, jasminum sambac and mimusops elengi flower fill with sweet aroma.
    Can you ever see this sort of scene, elsewhere?
    There is no limit of beauty in the beautiful Bengal.

    Dream

    It's the time to dream
    Shuffling the mind
    The dream comes absentmindedly
    Playing at the corner of the heart.

    Be the young or old, dream all
    There is no witness of dreams, though.
    Dream comes within the scene of its own
    Some dreams suddenly becomes true.

    There are no meaning of many dreams
    Yet no one can stop dreaming.

    Night passes by dreaming
    This is a mystery of creation
    When someone stops dreaming
    All the commentary on life will stop.

    Mother

    Lets her nestling to drink
    Puts food inside the mouth
    Lets her nestling to eat.

    In winter-spring-summer-rainy season
    She keeps her nestlings under her own wings
    Not eating herself

    Let the earth be in hostility
    How did you forget that mother?

    Ten months ten days
    keeping inside the belly
    But, laughing
    How many hopes in the heart.

    During the time to be born
    How much pain she bears
    Yet smile on her face
    When she hears her baby’s cry.

    Enfolding in her chest
    She remains extremely happy
    She forward her hands
    Call the baby towards her.

    She cares for her whole night and day
    Provides continuous attendance
    Nevertheless, her face remains bright.

    Beauty of Bengal

    How many rivers flow
    The estuarine estuary of this delta of the Bengal.
    Looking at the bewildered beauty
    It's not too late to fall in love.

    There are gold paddy in the field
    On the side of the field, filled with the peasant’s song
    The garden is filled with sweet mango
    Southern air flows over the mild river.

    I heard the shepherd's flute
    Joy and smile while playing with the children
    Jasmine, belly in flourish
    Pankouri and kingfishers are playing in the water.

    The bird's are singing on the branches
    The dusk dumped in the galaxy in the distance.
    I am fascinated by the beauty of Bengal
    The water of pleasantness comes down to the cheek.

    Birds of life

    This is an astounding feeling
    On each the page of the memory

    In the words of speech
    Let us all be decorated.

    Yesterday was gone
    Crossed over

    When it will fly
    Leaving all the illusion
    This life is a caged bird.

    Floating in the air, the windy breeze
    All the tears and smiles were gone.

    Like the mist
    Floating my memories

    Speech of consciousness
    Gave me a summon.

    With anxiety, kept the door open
    Sit in excitement
    Relaxed! Never knew

    Hanging in my neck, the loser’s chain.

    Unnecessarily driving the car fast
    is not desirable
    The dangers that might come from the front, from the back

    And keep driving
    Any time
    There may be a big accident.

    Driving unfit cars on the street
    is a big crime

    Why taking slander.

    Thoughts

    Succinctness trembles in the realm of the heart
    The watchman of the Seventh Seas goes as far as the signal of light.

    Unclean emotions play in a whisper
    Scarcity is spreading in the arms of darkness.

    Arranged gardens surrounded by loneliness.

    by the side of the pond full of water lilly
    My heart is residing there

    we jumped altogether in the pond
    roamed from trees to trees
    looking for turtle nest.

    taking away all the juice
    With the evening falls
    runaway to the village market.

    One question remains in the mind
    Why come to the earth
    What causes life, when you die?

    Yet, the answer to the question is not found

    Life on the riverbed

    The river does not know how to stop
    The movement does not have any border.

    It breaks one side and builds the other side
    The river goes on to the sea
    It breaks down as it wishes
    Whatever the dam you built.

    Yet this is the life of the riverside
    Beloved to many people
    They are the witnesses of the breaking and building
    The river has taken their own.

    The river is filled up
    Hits both the sides

    Governance

    The apathetic king just sat and think
    Will there be a day?
    No one else in this state
    Will not remain in starvation.

    Calling Minister, calling Scholar
    Calling all the Courtiers
    Must have to make a master plan
    So that all the people of the state get to eat.

    More of the state treasury
    Has to be enriched
    So that someone is in the next day
    Does not live in inadequacy.

    Wherever you see flood, drought, famine
    Stretch your  hands
    So that no one remains starving
    Do not spend night without sleep.

    Food, clothes, shelter
    These three are the original
    If you can afford, then give then education
    There will be lack of inadequacy from the country.

    In this way, his kingdom is ruled by his kingship
    No one else in the state has ever cried.

    The boy sitting on the window

    Sitting on the window of the lane
    The boy does not be seen any more
    So when with him
    Was last seen.

    He was suffering from a difficult illness
    No one did not know
    He left the world in silence
    Filled with the cry of the tears.

    He was quite in touch with the conversation
    It was with everyone
    No matter whether pedestrians, peddlers are going
    Whoever have passed the path.

    I remember the boy very much, when I pass through this way
    Hope one day, the boy will again appear by holding the window.

    Rainy day

    Rain fall in the canals and ditches
    Peacock dances with floating wings,
    Myna becomes wet in the tree
    Rain falls with melodious sound.

    The sky becomes black with clouds
    Wind speed increases,
    Cloud clashes and flashes
    Watering sound becomes more loud.

    In this full rain
    Who wants to go outside,
    I see the rain sitting in the porch
    And write poetry about rain.

    Rickshaw puller

    The wheel rolls around
    Drops the sweating of the body
    The whole day struggles on
    Does he gets what is the real price?

    He goes from here to there
    Under the sun and rain
    Life comes to the throat
    Does not remain in the heart.

    Yet he runs along the path
    With the inspiration to survive
    Going along the way
    In no one's mercy.

    Unknown

    In the bend of life’s wave
    The tears and laughter are hidden
    Someone can see, someone cannot see
    No one knows.

    Life is going on like this
    World is roaming around the clock
    When and where to stop
    No one knows.

    Cut out unnecessary time
    Walk in the opposite direction
    Which way to walk
    No one knows.

    Chest is filled up with empty hopes
    Life is shattered somehow
    Where to sail down
    No one knows.

    Environment

    In the heat of the summer
    all body sweats
    Get a little peace
    when it rains.

    It's happening around the world
    due to the change of environment
    In third world countries, especially
    increasing irritation intensifies.

    All of the us together
    will have to take the step
    If the balance is in the environment
    Eventually disaster will decrease.

    The Earth

    Ask the wind that stopped-
    Why are you stalling?
    I can not be overwhelmed as before
    It is the pollution at the source.

    Ask the tree which is trending downwards -
    How this has happened to you?
    She answered, as she is ill,
    In the absence of water I am in the big trouble
    This is how we remain alive.

    Ask the fountain that is flowing lifeless,
    Why you do not flow like before?
    I'm in great trouble being harmed by the environment
    No one shows any sympathy.

    Let's talk about the slow-moving river-
    Where are your excited waves?
    Due to lack of navigability, I am dry now
    There is no one to see it.

    Ask the bird sitting in the shade -
    Why are you so depressed
    The canals are all filled up
    Can not get food properly when I am hungry.

    I ask the dusk on the horizon-
    Why do not have gold color as before?

    Sometimes in white ball
    Sometimes this game is going to be on red ball

    Types of variations in over
    Play this game on the field.

    When the boat arrives on the shore
    Helmsman-free.

    But, thinking about it
    seeing the future
    that occurs in all scenes.

    It flows by itself, however

    so is it your own boat.

    Life

    Swim through the entire life
    Still standing on the sand bed
    There was a lot of things to know
    But it was not known in this small arena.

    Which does not account where who losses or wins
    This is how the ebb and tide runs
    Throughout life.

    But can’t say it.

    Do not forget it.

    Who does not remember
    The storm of sixes of Chris Gayle

    No more in the dark
    open the eye
    No more sitting idle
    follow the path of light.

    Perhaps it is not easy
    still do not end up running.
    The path may have ups and downs
    but effort should be there to reach out.

    Barriers are all around
    yet they have to be crossed.

    Suddenly the wind blows
    The light of fireflies glow.

    Remains unknown
    Day by day how much water flowed in the river Jamuna?
    Remains unknown.

    On the pages of debit-credit
    Then
    Everything was wrong?

    While doing the accounting

    Nothing is extraordinary.

    Everything ends
    There will be no more in hand
    No relish will be there.

    Migratory birds fly
    Stretching feathers in the air
    Depart from the country to country
    In winter, summer and rain.

    They go from one country to another country
    Away, far way along the horizon
    In due time comes back again
    They come back at home in that distant.

    They know when and where to stop
    They rightly know the path
    They know when and where to return
    When time come they come back to their own tree.

    This is how the migratory birds
    Fly around the earth in their own way
    Through which sign they fly

    No one can go before or nobody after.

    Have their own way
    That's the way each-other revolves by measuring their directions
    Moves by a pointer.

    The earth revolves around the sun
    Year comes
    The moon surrounds the earth
    Month comes
    The Earth revolves around her own orbit
    Brings a new day.

    First sight

    To bring water from the river bank
    Somehow the light flashes
    Prince's heart becomes excited.

    The sky was blue
    Air was limpid
    The giving and taking of hearts started at the river bank.

    The eyes are in the eyes
    exchanging hearts
    With the little maiden girl
    A prince of another village
    has the first introduction.

    Love at first sight
    Finding one’s mind in other’s mind
    That is how the two hearts

    In this way aimlessly, the days have gone

    Everyone is welcome
    to my little golden village.

    Where sing cuckoos and peacocks
    where you can see magpie-robin
    The water of the small river flows
    towards its own address towards the sea.

    Where shepherd play his flute
    The mind becomes sad a little
    The water drains down during ebb
    Calling by gesture.

    Where the water-lily filled the ponds
    Children swim in the water
    All the groups of farmers
    go to the boundaries of the field.

    Where silk-cotton, Bakul, Palash flowers flourish
    Seeing that mind becomes cheerful
    Fishermen go to the river to catch fishes
    On the edge of the small river.

    to my little golden village.

    What happens when nobody knows
    Crossing this path in vain.

    Light

    Darkness under the shade of light
    And walking in that dark
    The front way is like a mirage
    Yet, on the same path, success is said.

    One side, the other side, both sides are inundated
    Such like as the river in rainy days
    Measuring the movement of hope and trust
    The benefits are as such.

    Still have to look
    Whoever goes by the way
    Still have to listen
    Whoever speaks.

    Junction of life

    Coming to the junction of life
    Calculating the availability, non-availability
    The mind is upset
    What did you want and what did you get?

    Deep inside that pain
    The frustration is all the time.

    Hopes are devastated under the wheel of fortune
    So life cries around
    Receipt of seeking and non-seeking
    Surrounded the courtyard of life.

    In the blue pain

    Roaming in the blue pain
    Swimming in the blue of the ocean
    Temporarily thinking rhetorical
    I like to forget quite well.

    Speaking against will
    Walking on the unknown path
    Running against fatigue
    Floating in the wrong way.

    Seems all hopes are
    on the other side of the river.

    Ever-continuing

    When time is unlimited
    When the path is motionless
    Life is then stagnant
    Then walking is ever-continuing.

    When the answer to the question is inexpressive
    When destination is purposeless
    Attainment is then absent
    Then dreams are at stake.

    Roaming for a short while
    The pain of getting or not-getting

    No one there near or far
    For what the mind is waiting
    Nobody is there for own.

    The way of life

    The way of life is unblinking
    Does not know where it is started, where is the end
    Just know, filled with running
    The earth is filled with dots of time.

    There may be borders, there maybe not
    The limit may be seen, maybe there is none.

    There is a desire to receive
    But there is no time of availability
    The way is full of fatigue
    Which has no end.

    Priceless Gem

    On the way to the other side
    When it is lost
    Carefully kept in cushion
    He looks for that.

    On the way to home, at the boat's front
    Under the bottom of the oven,
    under the bench of the room,
    in the sides of the house.

    Adolescence, and the youth have crossed
    Now the old age came.

    Nevertheless, he kept his mind in the hope
    One day he will find his lost priceless gem.
