গন্ডি


গন্ডি দিয়েই রুখবে সমাজ
যতই তুমি উড়তে চাও।
গন্ডি দিয়েই ফন্দি গেড়ে,
রাখবে তোমায় বদ্ধ করে।
সবার থেকে আলাদা হবে?
ভেবোনা তুমি যেন,
এই ভেড়ার পালের সাথেই
কাঁধ মিলিয়ে চলো।

তবে কি সব অন্ধকার?
একদমই তা নয়।
কণ্ঠে যদি ফুলকি ওঠে,
মনে ওঠে ঝড়
তুমিই পারবে ভাঙতে শৃঙ্খল
আর রুখতে সব বর্বর।



গন্ডি তোমার সমাজ নয়,
তুমি করবে ঠিক।
তাতে যদি সমাজ রোখে,
ভয় পেওনা, দাঁড়াও আবার।
ঠিক - ভুলের ফারাক বোঝে,
এমন মানুষ খুবই কম,
গন্ডি কাটার খেলা খেলে,
ওটাই ওদের মুষ্টিদম।

মরণ তো হবার হবে,
গন্ডি দিয়ে নাই বা হল।
বাজে কথায় কান না দিয়ে,
খারাপ ভালো বুঝতে শেখো।
সঠিকটা কে বেছে নিয়ে,
নিজের গন্ডি নিজেই আঁকো।

'Human' by Kazi Nazrul Islam

Image
Let's sing the song of equality Nothing is greater than human, nor important. No difference in country-time-person, same for all religion, In countries, times, and houses they are relatives. Devotee, open the door, God of hunger is standing at the door, time for devotion. Seeing the dream, eager devotee opened a temple, Surely he will be a king today by the blessing of God. In tattered clothes, lean and thin body, voice is low for hunger Said the traveler, "Sir, open the door, I am starving for seven days." Door of the temple was closed at once, the hungry returns back, Dark night, only lights of hunger are all around the way. The hungry chants "O God, that temple is of devotee, not your." Yesterday was feast in the mosque, a lot of bread and meat Are left, the priest is very happy for that. At this moment a traveler came wearing tattered clothes, Said, "Sir, I am starving for seven days" The priest shouted with annoyance, "Wh...

Remembering our beloved Jatayu

Image
Yesterday was a gloomy day for the Bengali film industry, Bibhu Bhattacharya passed away. He may not be a superstar but undoubtedly one of the most loved actors of this film industry. I had not met him in personal but whenever he made some appearances, his simplicity and sweetness always showed very prominently. It made him a genuine human being. I am a huge fan of Feluda and have seen all the films of this franchise,  i can surely say that when it comes to Jatayu, Bibhu is the best. Jatayu is a much loved character and its sense of humour adds colour to Feluda and Bibhu's humour is incomparable, so he is a star by his means. He had started his career as Master Bibhu and had featured in many films as a child artist. he even did television work and also enacted Jatayu in the Feluda television series - 'Feluda 30'. Ever since Sandip Ray selected him as Jatayu, he has given a new life to the character and leaving aside his other works, he will always be reme...

The legacy of a poet - Kazi Nazrul Islam, the prophet of tolerance

Image
Kazi Nazrul Islam's works have been acclaimed as well as criticized for egoism, but his admirers who supported him throughout his life, considered this as self-confidence more than ego. They said that he had the ability to defy God and yet be devoted. Was a Bengali poet, writer, musician, revolutionary and philosopher who is best known for pioneering works in Bengali expressing fierce rebellion against society, tradition, politics, injustice, intolerance and oppression. Popularly known as the Bidrohi Kobi – Rebel Poet – he is widely popular and revered in India and commemorated as the "national poet" of Bangladesh. Nazrul lacked any formal training as a journalist or artist, and appears to have built  his artistic experience through his participation in folk musical troupes in his youth.  After two years of high school, Nazrul joined the army of the British colonial government. Stationed in Karachi during World War One, as part of the Bengal regiment,  he ros...
