Baba

chele amar boro hobe
make bolto se kotha
hobe manusher moto manush ak
lekha itihasher patay
nij hate kehte partam na
baba bolto "o khoka
jokhon ami thakbo na
ki korbi re boka?"
a to rokter sate rokter taan
sharther onek urdhe
hothath ochena jhore tomake haralam
mathay akash bhenge porlo
baba koto din koto din dekhi na tomay
keu bolena tomar moto
Kothay khoka ore buke aae
baba koto-raat koto-raat dekhi na tomay
keu bolena "manik kothae amar
ore buke aae ||
chosmata temni ache
ache lathi o panjabi tomar
ez chair-ta o ache
nei shekane olosh deho sudhu tomar
ajaner doni ajo suni
bhangabe na bhore ghum jani
shudhu shuni na tomar sei
doraj konthe pora pobitro Kuran-er bani.
baba koto din koto din dekhi na tomay
keu bolena tomar moto
Kothay khoka ore buke aae
baba koto-raat koto-raat dekhi na tomay
keu bolena "manik kothae amar
ore buke aae ||
