atharo bachar bayas
– sukant bhattacharj

atharo bachar bayas ki duhsah
spardhay ney matha tolbar jhuki,
atharo bachar baysei oharah
birat duhsahsera dey je uki।

atharo bachar bayser nei bhay
padaghate chay bhangte pathar badha,
e bayse keu matha noabar nay−
atharo bachar bayas jane na kada।

e bayas jane raktdaner punj
bashper bege stimarer mato chale,
pran deoa-neoa jhulita thake na shunj
sape atmake shapther kolahle।

atharo bachar bayas bhayangkar
taja taja prane osahj jantrna,
e bayse pran tibr ar prakhar
e bayse kane ase kat mantrna।

atharo bachar bayas je durbar
pathe prantre chotay bahu tuphan,
durjoge hal thikamto rakha bhar
kshat-bikshat hay sahasr pran।

atharo bachar bayse aghat ase
obishrant; eke eke hay jaro,
e bayas kalo laksh dirghshbase
e bayas kape bednay tharothro।

tabu atharor shunechi jayadhbni,
e bayas bache durjoge ar jhare,
bipder mukhe e bayas ogrni
e bayas tabu natun kichu to kare।

e bayas jeno bhiru, kapurush nay
path chalte e bayas jay na theme,
e bayse tai nei kono sangshay−
e desher buke atharo asuk neme।।
