Hemanta-ke
(A bengali poem by Suchitra Mitra)
hemanta bhalo gaan gaye kina
se katha aaj abantar |
tai se katha thak |
sambardhana sabdaTir abhidhanik artha
samyak, briddhi... sammanana |
er- ki proyojon aache aar aaj?
bharatiya a-bharatiya bangali srotar kachhe
tar shilpisatta bare bare swikrita,
mahamanwito boTe
e kathao jani naa ki?
notun kore tar gaaner stob?
aaj tao nirarthak |
kintu -
je katha bare bare
mone hoyechhe tar samparke
aaj se kathai bolar samay eseychhe |
tai nirdidhaye aaj
kicchu bhalobashar kathai boli |
hemanta baro kachher manush |
baro aaponar jon |
shudhumatro kantho-madhurjya takey
baraniya, smaraniya kare nii |
shudhumatro desh bidesh joy
gane gane takey
khyatir chuRaye bosayenii |
tar sange aaro kichhu mone poRe naa ki?
tar binamra binita buddhidipta byaktitya
tar bichar bibechana abhijatya
e shob, e shobi takey
prokrito, sampoorna manush korechhe |
take sroddhyeo shilpir sinhasane bosiyechhe |
aar - aar se manush bolei
tar gaane jiboner nana ranger ramdhanu
bichhurita hoyechhe |
bikirna korechhe
shato sahasra lakkho koTi
janasamudrar mon-ke |
naRa diyechhe aganito manusher gabhirata-ke |
hemanta'r sange amar porichoy bohudiner -
bohukaler, bohujuger-o bolte para jaye |
aaj pRouratyer darjaye daNRiye
bolte badha ki
tar samporke ami ki bhabi?
takey ami mahan shilpi bole
sraddha jaemon kori,
bondhu bole taemoni bhalobashi
aar tari sange
baRo maap-er manush bole
take barey barey abhinandito kori |
jibonjuddhe se loRechhe
daridrer chehara -
tao se dekhechhe
manush rupi nekRer thaba thekeo
se to rehai paye nii |
tobu jiboner proti ashim mamata
agadh bhalobasa tar phuraye nii |
hinsar kadarja agune
se jwale puRe more nii
dwesh, bidwesh, ghrinaa
tar abhidhane khuNje paoa jabe naa
a katha-o ami jani |
tai -
emon je manush
emon je shilpi
takey
antorer nirbhejal bhalobasha
naa janiye pari ki?
