..'OVIMAANI ONUJOG'..

“..Sha to chhilo shudhu-e oporichita ek
Hajaro onamikar moto,
Kaashful maathh theke hothhat urey aasha
Ekti shuvro paalok jeno;
Mukto, nij shoundorje udvaashito..

Prothom jedin hoy kotha tar shaathe
Ami hoyechhi montro-mugdho, shune konthhoshor tar
Mone holo jeno shokol murchhonar khela
Shudhu tar konthhei, bar bar..
Vito-shontrostota dekhesi ami, dekhesi onek chopolota
Hoyto dekhini hajarbar chokh bondho koreo –
Earup shurer nigurho nipunota..
Tar protiti shobder dotona jeno
Vorer pakhir ullaash, dol bedhe urey jaowar..
Jeno bohu uchu theke beye nama
Jhornar joldhaarar gojol, muktovaabe probahito hote paarar..

..Tar haashir shobder protiddhoni jeno
Niye aashsilo paatar mormor-dhonike shaathe kore,
Shudhu shunei vromon korchhilam bipula oronne
R, kurochhilam upoma, aajla vore..

Thik jokhon-e theme jeto shor; holo na hoy ta khaaniker torey,
Moruvumite poth harano Musafirder moto
Ofuronto, onaabil moner pipasha,
Uthhsilo jege firey fire..
Paarini takaate mukhpaane tar
Jemon paarini konodin kono naarite,
Hoyto sha amake bujhechhe vul
Haay! Kaouke ki kovu bojhaate perechhi
Amar praapti shudhu-e onuvutite?
Hoyto vebechhe sha amake chhonnochhara ek, noyto aattomvori!
Kovu-o ki perechhi bojhaate kaoure
Ami shudhu ek gyaan-shundorer pujari?..

..Jani, parina guchhiye bolte kotha; kokhono-e karo shaamne
Pari shudhu ami korte kolpona, dube ekakitter jol-gohine..
Tai tar jabar pore vebechhi shudhu-e
Ki nikhaad mayabi tar konthhoshor! Vebechhi shudhu-e
R jaaniyechhi praarthona sroshtaake – jeno ta thaake okkhoy,
Jaak na chole shohosro bochhor!
Tokhon-o ki jaantam tar baaki porichoy
Amar Mon-Mondirer shokol shobdo-chaoware
Debe ovinobo ek maatra!
Probesh koraabe tar sholaaj chawoar shaamrajje,
Shupto toruni moner shobuj ghaasher maathhe, r shuru korabe –
Tar onuvuti oronner pata-chhaowa pothe jaatra!

Jokhon jaante paarlam, sha-o chitroshilpi ek
Tobe rong-tulir noy; shobdo-chhonder,
Mana kore deya vikhaarir moto-e daariye thaaklam dorojar opaashe –
Sporsho pete tar kabber..

..Maatro du’ti kabbo-proshaad sha diyechhilo amake
Hoyto, poth na khuje peye sheshe,
Ami-o ki jaantam tar ei sholpo proshaadei
Amar ekaki dirgho kabber ushor poth
Nobo ronge rongin hoye uthhbe heshe!

Aj ami shei kabbo protima-k bolechhi
Manoshi hoye naamte Dhoraate,
Bolechhi ami taake – ‘Shoundorjer baash goponiyotaay noy,
Royechhe shudhu-e prokashito howaate..’

Taake aanbe bole ami shajiyechhi meghmala-k; rongdhonur shaat ronge,
Eshe boshbe bole ami shajiyechhi toru-bithike; nitol shobujer dhonge..
Shunbo bole tar shei konthhoshor; ami bataash-k sthir hote koriyechhi raaji
Dekhbo bole tar labonno chhota-k; ami shurjo-k bolechhi fotate baaji..
Kurabo bole tar shuvro paapri; ami dhuloke bolechhi shore jete,
Mone gethe nebo bole tar mukhchhobi-k;
Chokh shoriye rekhe ami; shob vaabna-k bolechhi dur hotey..

..Keu koreni kono ovijog amake
Shudhu, akhi vije gechhe akhi-nirey,
Ektukhaani taake dekhbe bole, minoti korechhe sha firey firey..
..Shuni nai ami akhir onurodh, firaini taake haate dhore
Chhol korechhi jeneo lukaate jol joto
Sha-o prokash kore gechhe nijeke – obiroto jhore jhore..
Shokol baestota, kolaholer maajheo tar aagomon baarta amake duliyechhe
Khoniker jonno holeo, niyomito kaaj hote
Sha amake baare baare vuliyechhe..

Meghmalader upor shoto fuler paapri bichhiye,
Paathhiyechhi pakhider prohori kore –
Shonali Chil-k bolechhi, hote taader shenapoti
Ei shunno du’ti haat joro kore..

..Hridoyer kompon baarchhe toto-e
Tar aagomoner shomoy ashchhe joto-e egiye,
Polokhin chokh-jora hoyechhe klaanto; shudhu tar poth cheye cheye..
Tar ashaar shomoy joto-e jasse chole
Proti muhurto jeno kaatchhe, hoye bochhor onek..
Icchhapuroner paatro hoye jasse du’khondo –
Ekpaash vora utkonthhay, uchcashaay baaki aadhek..
Sha to noy eto bekheyali Debi
Tobe keno raakhse daar koriye pujari-k?
Tobe ki sha chaichhe mukti –
Pujarir niyoto proshaad laaver puja theke?..

..Opekkhar prohor kaatate na pere meghmala kaadse brishtyrupe
Toru-bithi r bataash niyechhe ognimurti, pure bedona-bidhur dhupe!
Shurjo r shonali Chil mukh lukiyechhe,
Amay ki bolbe ta na khuje peye,
Maatha uchu kore aachhe sheshob vaabnara
Jara shudhu taakei royechhe joriye..

..Hothhat-e chokhe jome uthhlo jol, beye porlo ojana voy-k shongi kore
Tobe ki Debi chaayna naamte Dhoraate manoshir rup dhore?
Na ki chaay sha aashte aabaro
S-h-e-i oporichita, onamika hoye purono sha pother ‘pore!

Hoyto sha jaane shokol kotha-e; ja protiddhonir moto ghure ei mone
Hoyto sha jaane na ekti chhondo; ja royechhe amar ea moner gohine –

‘Jeno (jene rekho) tumi, ami shei dole nei priyo!
Ami je dekhi tomare purnochokkhu meli;
Jobe dekhe shokole baahir tomar, ami dekhi obvontor –
Shoda prokaashito baahir vuli’!..”
