The poet of Bangla

KAMAL CHOWDHURY

A poem was written in the name of father
A poem is like a picture in the flag
A poem is like a river of Green and blood
A man is a poet of the whole Bangla.

There is ektara in the village path, there is Baul song too.
A poem is bright sunshine in the dark of night
A poem is with hundred flowers of the alphabets
A poem is with the rhythm of Joy Bangla

A poem is ashes on the faces of the enemy
Assurance of safety is on the banks of Padma-Ganga
A poem is on the branches of Hijol-Tomal trees
A man ever unexhausted and undamaging.

A poem is the dawn of Shahid Minner
A poem is in the exaltation of the people
A man is with Sonar Bangla, O my mother.
A man is the raised hand of bravery.

A poem written on the fiery-coloured Polash
A man is like a picture in the flag
The ektara in the heart and song of Shyama and Doel
Today Mujib is the poem of whole of Bangla.
