..'TOMA LAAGI, MAA'..

"..Praate ghum vaangaate
Noyone diye chum; pore, nite tene buke
Ki probol aakroshe chhurtam haat – pa
Ghum haranor dukhe

Nij haate tumi dite khaowaye bole
koto na golpo
Chholona korte tumi, khaowate amay
Bujhte paartam olpo

Snaaner belay koto je bahana kortam
tomar shathe
Shob bahana-k nishfol korte,
Tene niye - bukete

Bedhe dite amar lomba beni duto, laal – nil
fitey diye
Aalto kajol maakhaate chokhe
Pore, jorate buke niye

Bikele ami kotona chaitam khelte
jete bahire
Chokher aaral korte na tumi
Dite na jete amare

Ki nidarun khov niye porte boshtam mukh-ti
kore vaar
Kotona ovinoy korte tumi,
Hashaate amay – barongbar!

Jekhane taakai nei je tumi achhe
kebol tomar gondho,
Maago, amay shudhu chokh diye
Keno korle ondho?

Kede firte laaglam, toma khoje
ghormoy
Jhoriyechhi koto je akhijol;

Maago, korechhi koto onunoy!

Paare ni keu firiye aante tomay amar kachhe
Bujhlam, kokhon Megher nikot
Chatok Bari jaache!

Ghumer ghore haat baarai go tomay
paabar aashe,
Paaina Maago tomay shekhane
Haatkhani firey ashe

Shorone ele tumi, noyoner jol parina
raakhte dhore
Ontorotol hote ki baetha je hoy
Bojhabo kemon kore

Jodi na kokhono berate jetam na jani
ki kotha vebe
Khone khone tumi kepe uthhte
Jorate buke kede

Sharati raatri na ghumiye tumi korte
epash – opash,
Jaantam nato sha kon voy
Korto tomate shoda boshobash

Aashtam jokhon firey tomar kachhe, jorate osru noyone
Bujhtam na go, ki sha karone
Obisraanto ea borsha toma’ lochone

Ovimani noyone taakate amar paane kichhu
prohor na bole kono kotha;
Hothhat-e dukre uthhe, fupiye fupiye
Prokashite tobo baekulota

Koto je shopno, koto je asha amay
niye, bolte sharabelate
Bolte tumi ‘Hote hobe boro
Shokol loker maajhete’!

Bujhlam dhire – amay chhere thaakte
paro na tumi,
Toma aanchole tai badhlam nijeke
Taejia shokol vumi

Momo morme jokhon uthhlo shaadh, Maago, kuraate hobe shob valobasha,
Ki jani sha kon ovimaane tumi
Biday nile shohosha..
Aj jiboner koto ghaat-protighaat ekaki
shohi je ami,
Paaro na ki Maago, joraate golay
Dhorar bukete naami?

Ekaki kivabe royechho shuye - maatir
buker adhaare?
Kivabe tumi katachchho prohor
Kokhono - paarte na chhere jaare?

Aj tomar kobor shommukhe daariye - vaashchhi akhi-nirey,
R chaaichhi, momo ea khino hridoy diye–
O tonu, o buk firey firey!..”
