Damn, what has made of this country and
Dark cloud accumulated in the nature!
My abode is covered with
Green leaves and
Dark green shadow
Family life is decorated exquisitely
Clean sky
Shiever with poisonous air
Which shower down like
A lung-full . . . longer sigh . . .sighs.
In a difficult crisis
The ways and means of Bangladesh
That is going on at present
In the broad daylight, vultures
Wait patiently.
Stretches its neck now and then
Kites are controlled
And hands of clock is moved back;
With abhorrence and deep hatred I spit
On the faces of those
Who utter damnation on the world
Lets go back to previous time
Birds can live more secure life
In this city, locality
Only the human beings are not safe
Covers priceless dear life with
Cheap light flimsy draper.
Leader of the muggers time, O darling time
Hold the rein, heal the wound and erosion.
