good bye

i had let out a call into the night
and no one answered.
you had left me
let me down, thrown me aside,
battered, bruised and broken.


now i will walk away,
i have to.
dont sigh now please and make things
look so difficult for me,
you were just not there
and i must leave now, alone.


i will vanish at an orange morning
and it will snow the night before
in the rough Indian terrain
and all the cactuses shall bloom
and their thorns turn into velvety leaves
the dust of the roads
shall transform into grains of diamond
and glisten in the sad forlorn moonlight


rain water shall patter into a glass bowl
and fill it on account of your tears.
the kokil shall sing all night
from the mango tree in a heart broken tune
and cry so blue for his piya
that the silent sky shall be soaked in the deepest blue


and the world sleeps,unaware of another heart
hidden behind reeds beside some forgotten pond
weeping its tears alone by the muted stones.
the desolate love bleeds alone, a jackal howls nearby.

EKTA CHHERA KOBITA

Kicu kicu bhalobasa ashe – emnie.
Kono dabi nei, pawar akankhao nei,
Nei kono gopon kamona.
Se shudhu eka cheye thaka kebol.
Canteen-e thanda chae chumuk daoa
R okaron opekkha – Jodi se ashe? Hotat?

Klantiheen surjo jokhon tej chhorie dae akashe,
Sranto ghormanto sorire shiri beye uthi,
Tomar payer chhotfote shobdo jyano kaane ashe,
Chokito firey takai – tumi ki?
K jyano honhon kore hete chole galo.
Dhur! Ki sob bhabchi. Tumi kano hote jabe?

Bus-e boshe chokh rakhi rastae,
Tomar bari to shohorer oi kone…
Tobu Jodi hotat dekhi tumi ei pothe?
Jaccho hete, sei tar kotha shuncho phoney?
Besh hobe, besh hobe, dekhte pabo tobe.

College street-r morey, ekdom okaron
Chokh khuje chole kake, jante chaina mon.
Ki dorkar jene? Habijabi joto kotha.
Crocin kinte hobe, hotat dhoreche matha.
Ekhon bujhi keno lokey cigarette khae,
Se sahosho to amar hoyni konodin.
Onamika, osundor ek otripto atma hoe
Ghure berabo shukno rastae, r roj
Pepsi diye gilbo Disprin.

Mon kemon kora gaan radio te bajle
Chupi chupi bhabi tumio to suncho,
Odrishyo mobile sudrisho sms type
Kori tomar jonne, pathie di magic number-e.
RJ pore dae seta, bajie dae bhalo kono gaan,
Sur to tokhon bhasche amar heart-statione,
R chokh bhasche tear gland secretioney.

Koto din, ogo koto din hoe galo
Ekta muhurtow je dekhini go tomae
Koto jug, ogo koto juug boe galo
Ekbaro firey takaoni ….
Bhorie daoni hridoy kono ice-cream sondhae.

Abar ki sob bhabchi dakho boshe.
Kaj kaarbaar nei kichu, r ki?
Magic moments gole jae sriti hoe,
R premer jowar bhata hoy seminar-e.

Kano korle amae etokhani eka bolo?
Kichu ki cheyechi tomar kache konodin?
Gaane kobitae kano bhore asho chokhe?
Kano diyechile jhinuk-bhangar sondhan?

Kichu bhalobasha shunno ta bhore dae,
Kichui thake na shaar sotto tar,
Tobu ochena ek ful hoe fute othey,
Okaron prem – eo ek abishkar.
