Rod Choshma - 10th August, 2013

Rod-chosmar arale, nokol
Bunte bunte sekha swopno,
Bibosh kichu joler dhara, karur kache daami;
Amar kretar obhab, tai Benami.
Tomar sukhe amar kiser jwala
Tobu keno dohoner joggo ami,
Ami to kobei bandho rekhe janala
Rodbihin chotraker desh ghuri.
Somoy jodi cholte na pare,
Ami thomke tanar ke
Nihonta na Niyonta, tumi
-- fircho keno abar ese.

Nirbodh hayto ami taito bhule bhora
Khoma chaoar sujog nei;
Taholei abar arek tokma,
Sudhu rong bodlay,
Aj name, kal bename -tomar simanay.

Tate ojor kiser, tarona kiser,
Pabo ki ?
Jani tumi, niyom-mafik ghumate jao,
Amar sob sriti pase rekhe;
Sokale ichche na hole hoyto ar porona.

Bikeler rastay tomar gham dekhechi,
Rong bodleche, gondho bodleche
Asole poth tao je bodleche.
Sohorer anache kanache jome thaka dhulo
Kichuta sore ase tomar paye,
Kintu muche jay jol dilei
- Sadharon jeno koto, tobu jiboner tulonay.

Ami to bisriti chai,
Tateo karponno, tobu jodi buke nite
Ghumer majhe osonkho noshtami hoye
ar nai ba marle.
Oporadher sedine nahoy ami chilam,
Tomar onuposthiti jahir joggo;
Sotti amar buker theke dure
-- tumi arekjoner, boidho mimangshar bhoggo....
