MRITTYUR KHOMA - 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2007

Mrittyur Khoma

Sato kalonko soyechi e mathay

Diyechi khesarot satotar rastay,

Tabu du fota chokher jol katray

Bandho thoter kone sriti hatray.

Otit firbena bhobisyoter kache

Tala bandho abeg lukiye ache.

Much Dhaka andharo hayna fike

Tabu se dekhena fire –

                Konomote achi tike.

Bhul bhabnay jorjorito

Kichu bhul samay,

Bhul path eke karlo chalito

Ar kato soibe niloy?

Rikto amar sajjhokhamota

Firte na para tomar akkhamota,

Tabu dekhchona keno ektu chesta kare

Jodi jay kichu bhul soja patha ghure.

Bristi bhije dariye ami –

                Tomar apekkhay;

Jodi hay deri tomar,

                Thakbo mrittyur khomay….
