..'TUKRO OVIMAAN'..

"..Toke ami bujhte parina kokhono
Amar moto kore
Amar chaowaguluke
Toke ami bojhaate parina kokhono..

Tor jonno ami shoto shoto mom jaaliye
Tar majhe toke boshiye
Amar chaad-tarar akash banaai;
R prodip tule dhori tor mukhe
Amar du’chokher moto;
Toke adho-alote dekhbo bole..
R tui bolish -
‘Ami ki eto-e kalo j amay dekhte
Mukhe prodip tule dhorte hoy?’

Ami jani,
Toke ami bujhte parina kokhono
Amar moto kore
Amar chaowaguluke
Toke ami bojhate parina kokhono..

..Tor jonno ami Chaatoker moto
Brishty prarthona kori
Tarpor amar ghorer shaamne
Maatir uthhone toke niye haati;
Tor paayer chhaper alponaay
Canvus banaate amar charpaash..

R tui bolish -
‘Veja maatite haatiye tumi
Amar thhanda lagaate chao bujhi?’
Ami jani,
Ami toke bujhte othoba bojhaate parina..

Tor jonno ami bon-badaare ghure
Naam na jana ful kuriye aani,
Graam theke graame ghure
Taatider momotaay bona shaari niye aashi
Shudhu toke ‘Graamer Bodhu’ – der moto shajiye
Ektu khani dekhbo bole,
R tui bolish -
‘Amar bujhi onnoder moto
Shaajte icchhe kore na?’
Ami jani,
Ami toke bujhte othoba bojhaate parina..

Ami kaali-jhuli maakha haat niye-i
Khete boshi
Shudhu tor haate khabo bole
Shudhu tui khaaiye dibi bole –
R tui bolish -
‘Amar bujhi r kono
Kaj-kormo nei?’

Toke mone hoi ami konodin-e
Bujhte parbo na, othoba
Ei amake tor kachhe
Bojhaate parbo na..”
